I didn't even think of packing the 6.7m, stupid mistake as the 5.8 left me underpowered today. It was great to see so many people there and meet some new faces from Portland, its a real shame the Ray didn't show better conditions. The wind was broad enough to start with to get some decent runs on the west course but as it strengthened it went more southerly so it became very square. I actually tried some port tack runs on the east course towards the end which worked very well - one to look at in a southerly. I concentrated on improving my nautical mile time today, very pleased to get over 30kts at last. Really good days blasting which is welcome after last weekends beating!
