Topic : Rutland Over 2011

All over for another year.  Metcheck says "Winds finally easing".  I thought it was probably difficult when the current world champion L4000 was struggling out there on the monday.

Thank you all the team.

Jennie King, Mike Calvert and Pat Blake for ably leading the collegiate training through the three days. Mike even sailed quite well on the Sunday!

Phil Scott, Richard Turner and Brian Cobb and special helper James Doores for getting wet.

Phil Scott and Chris Martin for the double act on very practical boat repairs and advice.

The one to one trainers:
Matt Biggs, Mike Calvert and Richard Parslow for taking on the challenge of F6 with unknown boat and crew. Mad!
Jilly Blake and Pippa Taylor for performing the ever popular spinnaker practical.
Graham Williamson, Judith Massey, Rob Kennaugh for assisting on the day in a major re-organisation of activities at the last minute. Graham and Rob also got wet!

Dan Alsop for his behind the scenes encouragement.

The Rutland Team, Bruce, Gemma and Paul: very forgiving and generous with time and resource. All the Bosuns team: boats on time and ready to go! Mark and Mary and others I never got the name of in the bar. Sam in the catering area with her team seeking to understand the complexities of tickets and the difference between Merlin Rocket and Salad Rocket.

Thank you to you all.

Im a bit miffed with Aeolus though.

Steve
