Will Sunnock broke his mast while trying to set a new record attempt yesterday, a new Mastrom mast is on its way so I hope thet get it here before saturday.

Andi and Martin (f18ht) also broke their mast, they too will get a new one (1 shipment from Sweden).

A lot of wind (20-25kts) and waves yesterday, getting thru the surf is no problem but out on the race course things where quite rough.
Cool to watch a cat nearly jump over a wave going upwind.
Forecast for saturday is not looking to good either, 25-30kts NW, it will be straight on-shore and waves will be huge!

According to Y+Y William will try and repair "with a pole if needed".

Looks like the mast simply snapped, judging by the pic; william and Oli went into windward.:

It is going to be a rough round Texel as the forecast shows a lot of wind from the Northwest. I wish everybody good luck and try to keep the boats in it's original shape . The surf will be with the NW wind huge.

Not thru, the most real a-cat racers are going to the Worlds in Italy , starting next weekend and most of them are heading of this weekend to have some practice at Cesenatico. The Worlds is a bit more important then Texel and with a valid change that you can be hit by somebody else , it is not worth to take that risk because you will not have the time anymore to repair. The weather forecast is also not looking good , for nobody actually.

That's Texel.

The sailing might be off, but the BIG party on the beach will still be on.... And that is SOME PARTY!! Beats all other regatta parties I've been to!

The cyclone is called Friedericke (at least in Germany). I tried to play with her yesterday. We went out, she sent us straight to the ground after 5min sailing, bearing away on reach for the first time. We made a massive pitch pole. My crew flew 10m or more strafing with his ear one of the forestays. When I looked for him, I found him on the top of the mast. Nothing broken apart from one sail batten, my crew has still both ears on his head, but some pain. Later we learnt, we had 35kts and gave a good entertainement on the beach. Too bad, I didn't have my camcorder...

Cheers,

Klaus

We slogged to Scheiveningen for the Dutch iF20 nationals, rigged the boat, sat on the beach watching the waves for the weekend, packed up the boat and slogged home.

What must that coast be like in WINTER!

Yes, good news.

One day swimming and then good sailing for the other 2

Texel had never seen an SL16 before so they had to measure the boat before they could get the results right.

thanks Tony

80 - 100cm crack under the waterline. Partly the fibre layer is broken through. A classic no-wind-weekend-job to repair ;-)

At least you had wind! It's Kieler Woche right now and for the next days the forecasted maximum is 6kts. The olympic classes cancel race after race ...
The F18s start of Thursday, and I sincerely hope that the conditions will change till then!
