Swanage Regatta 2014

duty on the saturday so we could do the races on sunday
beachmaster morning and afternoon
and do the results with desney and christine. managed to do them after being shown for r3 and r4 on my own.
in the evening we had a bbq meal and did bar duty with greg and mike mcvey before the fireworks,

wind on the day was gusting 25knts w-sw

on the sunday 8 boats signed on.
i had clive stracey as my crew. he had not crewed with me since the hurricane .
unfortunatly he couldnt trapeze because of his back and hips but we managed.
we managed to sail backwards in the fleet to 8th spot and thats where we stayed , it was good fun sailing and challenging for us both. not sure we sailed the course as economic as we could have but only one messed up tack was all i did wrong. finnished 8th both times.  sailed in had lunch and decided to call it a day.
i felt more confident sailing in stronger winds and as i had hardly raced all season felt i had done ok.
also filmed on head cam so screenshots later.
