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 to explain subtle tuning adjustments in a straight forward way was just awesome; about the only bad thing I could say is he tends to over simplify. If you want to go fast for the season and have a couple hundred to spend get him to come tool around for a day with you; worth every cent. Have a look at the SailForce link.
Anyways that was my excitement for the weekend…

Nah, wrong perspective for my photos and wrong boats (I wish).
