Tipped boat over to sort mast upper rigging as it was all tight ,found the proble being the shackles were in the wrong position, so loosen the bridle and sorted. Did a few other jobs then helped Lizw with her boat. A few other turned up in the club so have plenty of names to try to remember now
Got the boat onto the shore line and was apprehensive about launching launched ok in the end into. A slight on shore wave action I only had the main up so the fist tack was slow , the waves didn’t help as boat speed was slow ,
I missed the start by being on the wrong side of the line
I corrected it and then set off to a mark I couldn’t see, eventually I did spot it and rounded it while Pete and Frazier were already back on the beat .
Downwind was better and with the tide rounded the bottom gate to struggle upwind to make the line
One lap 52 min the others on f18s did 2. After getting back ashore we cleared up to then go fir a pint in the ship inn home by 2030 a long day but well worth it
Problems were mainsheet came undone at block
Mainsail badly worn on luff
Watch didn’t work
Go pro not charged enough. Both of them
Radio not charged
No tools to do anything
Will get sorted one day
