Looks like it'll be a windy one!
I was out in the EPS last weekend. An absolute blast, fast and steadier than the 12. I was upright whilst all around were tipping in until the 45mph squall came through. The sky went dark, the clubhouse disappeared, the waves flattened, the white horses vanished, the water became a sheet of spray and every boat was on its side. It was too windy to even try and get upright and we all sat on our hulls until the wind abated slightly. By then the race was abandoned, so it was sail in time...and then the rudder stock went "snap".
That's 2 out of 3 boats out of action now. Good job I'm missing this weekend's fun, don't think my bank balance can stand it.

We're going to wait and see on the weather for this one...  if it's really 20mph might not come as neither Adam or Joe would appreciate that much breeze.
