Temperature didn't go above 6 degree C there were patches of ice on my boat cover when I took it off. But hey the sun was out and it was blowing around 12mph (perfect!!). I would like to say it was an enjoyable race but I had a good start between a Cork 1720 and a Dart18, left them behind very quickly and my main rival on a F18 tried for a Port flyer but failed miserably. That was the end of the race!! I was gone, by the end of the fourth lap I had lapped 1 Dart 18 and 1720 and was probably at least 2 mins ahead of the F18. A pretty boring story I know but my new flatter main was superb today. Fully trapped out and playing the main/downhaul upwind was what wet dreams are made for <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> and downhill the lightness of the platform is just fantastic in the 2 foot swells. The next race is scheduled for Mothers Day. I'd better start behaving myself!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Didn't go above 6 degrees!!! Now that is just crazy.

You probably don't want to know what kind of day I had in Singapore then yesterday. Have to say one of the better days sailing I have had here in Sing...

Hey Mark, seeing as you like the cold I need a crew for this sunday at Datchet - interested? I can get you that beer then.... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Cold.... you don't feel the cold when you're winning <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the crewing offer but there are three Rugby Internationals on Saturday, Wales are going to win the Triple Crown <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> On Sunday I'll only just be in the land of the living!!! and beer will definitely be off the menu.
