It's not a Mosquito, but I played it over and over... My favourite part is the 3 point landing made by the skipper. wink

This was from Saturdays racing at Sugarloaf - It's a Taipan on a tight reach. grin

Not true? I should fess up that according to the guy who took the video it is the Lemon Peel with me in full flight blush.
Thankfully, it was after the finish while I was practicing (see results for details :)).

That's a very funny video - nice one Peter!

I executed the same procedure on Sunday - but I didn't get that much air time!

Hey,

great video, had to watch it over and over again. Should rename Lemon Peel to Sling Shot or maybe Banana Peel.

Interesting arrangement of divisions 1 2 and 3 Bill. What does it mean?
What software is the club using for the results?

Had to watch the video again. Can't stop laughing every time laugh

I thought I should check the sailing instructions to get the correct meaning of the divisions where I found:

3.4 Divisions
All boats shall be divided into divisions as determined by the Executive Committee upon consideration of the Sailing Committee's recommendation.

Hmmmm.

What it roughly means is that if you look at the yardstick results across the season, the top third are in division 1, the middle third are in division 2 and the rest are in division 3. I really enjoy this as you are competing against people of a similar skill level within your division. While the club yardstick results show the large picture, the division results give you competition you can win.

Yeah, It looks as though I could clean up in the titles - Until I try to mix it with the guys at Somers and Gippsland, then I tend to go backwards blush
