I think all classes find it hard with an east/south-east wind off Bournemouth/Poole. Well done for finishing.

2 weeks before we didn't get out there with our larger classes coz of that, however, we managed so stuff inside the harbour....

no not yet,its having some repairs done to the hull as we speak,will be finished today ready for me to put everything back in it tomorrow night and saturday,ready for allhallows if we go. i moved the foot throttle forward about 2 inches aswell to see if that helps,i think in a rough race i was to close to it and made my foot/leg bounce around thus giving the throttle a blip just when you dont need it,apart from that she is all ok ,but i guess we will have to wait and see whats happens next time,fingers crossed it will be business as usual
