Windy!

[chalky]

N3400 was the only 12 sailing entered in Aldeburgh regatta this year. On friday the fast handicap started at 14.40 and at 14.42 a gust of 44.6 mph flattened the fleet except for one small white boat....An awsesome display of high wind sailing and boat construction. It couldn't have been much different just down the coast at Mersea.....
