Weekend race, started fairly solidly, bit of confusion with the start; downwind?!? Got away decently, 3rd around the first mark to our main competitor in a Farr92 and a Beneslow 38-42ish. Pulled back 3BL and got an overlap on the 2nd mark. He broke right, we went a bit more left where we felt there was [...]
Bit behind the times but update on the weekend…
First of the offshore winter series and we served it. Started with a light easterly, eventually got beaten down by the incoming seabreeze. We managed to sail in front of the 3 mile transition hole and pick the seabreeze coming back off the coast, pretty much avoided [...]

Met Phillippe Peche on the weekend. Start thinking,
and
Anyways, got him to come down a tune up the rig on the Farr 30 I’m doing winter series on.
Dead set legend; I learnt more off Phillippe in 2 hours of dicking around rig tuning than I have in two years of sailing with 2 ex-Whitbread guys. Ability [...]
Mmmkay, kick this thing off. Dunno what I’m going to use it for but we’ll see, probably just a collection of cool sailing stuff I find laying about the web. Plus any pics and vid I take.
I race on Inglis 57, Farr92s, Farr30 depending on the day of week, etc.
I’m in love with Mini’s; for [...]
