Sound great Ben... swap temperatures with you! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Went down to Mcrae on Sat.for the last of the Winter series there but alas it was blown out before the boats hit the water.
The day ended up well though as Peter Foulsum turned up while I was rigging and went over the boat with me. Thats what I call "bloody good service" from the association. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (Many thanks once again Peter)
The flip side is that he gave me some "homework" so it looks like I've a bit more work to do before the season proper. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
We had our winter dinner at McCrae that night which involved a wine or 3, then a reasonably early departure so as to get up in time to go to Sugarloaf today.
Met Trevor ( Another toy) who sadly could not sail due to a crook prawn, and Bill Pepping who had his Kite in action. Can't mention performaces or swims as "what happens on tour......" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
No trap action, but 2 races in varying conditions and a great day to learn a bit more about the boat. Got my head around where to get my weight to good effect etc. and discovered that my mainsheet and tiller are both too short.

It was a smallish course due to water levels but a friendly bunch over there. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
