Hi Ron
Having replaced your toe straps with grab rails you need to sit out even harder butt first with fingers rapped tight, good luck.
Life with the fish’s ant that bad

Watching you in the water reminded me of that Simpsons episode where Mr Burns is trawling all the fish from the sea. Mines a pint of Mark Spitz please!

My dogs bloody good at tuning my boat! Found out today that if I bang my lowers on really hard and I mean really hard the thing goes upwind. Can anybody tell me if a middle C is the correct setting foe the lowers.

Hi Floppy
We used a Superspar (new type) with P&Bs (very nice on the rig) at the Nationals on Liquid Dreams and were one of the quickest boats, especially upwind. Our weight and lack of time in the boat let us down though and we slipped back to finish 8, 6 (missed the finish and went to the wrong flag, Umm won't do that again), 8, 17 (were 5 till big shift then down to 42!!!!), 10 (need to improve my running tacticks as lost most on the 2 runs), 3.
Though possibly not as quick as the Chipstow (needed more time to play with setup), was impressed with the new stick which we stepped for the first time at the Nats (nothing like real preperation) with new sails.
Email me and I will send you some info in the next few days.
Bye for now
