Posts: 48 Belgium (Oostende) | Day 2 - Today started windy, but it calmed down in the late afternoon. We raced in the C1 class (all boats with rating lower than 107). I think there were about 30 boats in our fleet. A lot of Mattia Esse’s, some Tornado’s and a FX One (don’t know if it’s the Extreme version or not).
We were with 5 F16’s present. John Alani, Hans Klok, Paul Warren and MarkP all sailed one-up. There were 3 races done. We went very fast upwind, but downwind we always lost some places. I think we finished overall in the middle of the fleet.
We raced from 3 o’clock until 7 o’clock, all I want to do know is eat and sleep.
This morning we also had an interview with a journalist from the French sailing magazine “Voile et voiliers”. She went with Gill on the Blade, crewed and steered. After that I got on board and she made a lot of pictures from a Zodiac. So we will have some very nice pictures of us sailing. We sailed together with a Spitfire for this shoot. They were also a mixed team. The Spitfires are well presented here, and they have their own start on the same rounds as us. The F18 class is the largest class here. They are divided in 4 groups and are moving between groups.
Tomorrow we have the long distance raid scheduled. This is a very long (100 km) run and I am still doubting if I’ll go or not. It will depend on the conditions tomorrow and the social pressure, I guess. I hear it’s a beautiful run, with lovely scenery. After that we have Saturday and Sunday left for racing, but predictions are there will be less and less wind.
Later, Kathleen | | | Re: Live at Eurocat Carnac

Is there a way of finding out what boats are being sailed?
Regards, Phill I'll drop Olivier an email and ask if they can put the boats up too.

I'm sure it's handicap - I certainly didn't beat those Ts on the water. I'd be interested to know what handicap that X16 is entered. It's a shame they haven't published times or combined results against the F18s and Spitfires, as we were all on the same start. Paul | | | Re: Live at Eurocat Carnac

Paul The official SCHRS rating based on the measurement of the boat earlier in the year is 1.007 vs F16 (single handed) at 0.982 so not a massive difference.
