Sea Sailing

[Jane Wade]

With the exception of Richard and Lindsey you ALL missed the most amazing sailing this weekend.  Thorpe Bay never dissapoints - great piece of open water with just a five minute sail to the start.  It was pretty breezy with the odd gust of 35 MPH but the 12s put on a great display and put some much larger boats and crew combinations to shame. 
Rich and Lindsey sailed overall faster laps to beat us in the handicap series, but the four races ended with two races a piece.  Bring on the windy Burton Week - we are ready!
Steve Le Grys took some great shots so look forward to seeing some of those.

Jane,
Matt and I did try to sail at Thorpe Bay but the first wave capsized the boat before we had even got in it! Matt took a boat full in the face and that was when I decided enough was enough and I wanted a boat (and crew) left for this weekend.
We did try, but the bacon and eggs buttys made it worth while all the effort.

PS.  had a fab sail on the river Sunday. Much simpler launching and very fast planning on the flat water!
