I bet this small technical problem was a result of the helm not doing something one ought to..... Had it been the crews fault or just general gear fatigue I'm sure even positive that we would have had the full low down!!


Well, um, to be fair it did happen when the helm cranked on the mainsheet, so um...

Would this problem have occurred if some electrical tape had been adopted? (you may answer yes or no)


Actually, no. Tape is one thing that GBR 801 is never short of. The crew makes very sure of that <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did it involve something 8.5m long? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />


Possibly... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Last weekend was the Welsh Cat Champs hosted by Mumbles Yacht Club and here are a couple of photo's. These pics were taken on Saturday and the wind was gusting 22knts, Sundays max wind was 25knts (the sea was nice and warm on Sunday!!)
You may notice that everything is in it's correct position!!

Just got out the GP main sail which has been sitting in my locker for the last few weeks due to the high winds we have been having ( didn't want to try it in 25+ for the first time ),really light winds last night at the club racing but seems to sail along nicely, Should be a step up from the smaller Stealth type R sail I had been using. Laying it over a Landenberger sail, very similar but a litle more up top half and less down bottom

Nice to see up to 6 F16's even on a Wednesday night. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Sorry I couldn't be there - got a few repairs to sort out. Doesn't look like I'm likely to get out again before Mumbles, thanks to work travel <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Yep; that's the main difference is area distribution. More up top is always good <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
