Rough as Guts

Rough conditions yesterday, perfect for rum drinking.

Invitation Race

Jack Sherring (QLD) won in a lumpy drift-a-thon (with some marginal foiling) while the rest of us got seasick and heat stroke. Well done Jack.


Race 1
Rumour mill was rife with 20 knots predicted to come soon. After a long wait for the wind to fill in (from nothing) the starter was keen to get some racing in before a front arrived. With some boats still trying to get to the line the race got underway in sub-foiling conditions. This wasn't to last long and within a minute it was all systems go, ~15knots. Upwind was fine in the lumpy stuff but downwind was another story. Plenty of cartwheels ensued as ppl tried to sort setups.


Race 2
I don't know what happened because I pussied out of the first race but the procession of borken or flooded boats was enough to validate my decision to retire for the day and drink rum.


Today is shaping up to be a bit windier from the West. Don't know what that means for the waves, we'll soon find out. End of the week is looking good.


Oddball results to follow but we think Markla is winning, which is very odd.
