Discoball was built as our step up from the Admirals Cup. Matched with an Angell mast and Rowsell sails (and a large amount of correctors...) she was quick out of the box and allowed Sam and I, as a very light crew to stay on the pace in a lot more breeze than had been possible before. I don't think we ever reached the real potential of the boat due to very limited time to practice - but despite only 1 afternoon sailing between the 05 and 06 Burton Weeks we still managed to place in the top ten which probably says a lot for the designs innate speed and ease of handling. Results: Burton Week 2005 Abersoch 7th Overall 4th Burton Cup 3rd Best result Salcombe YC Regatta 2005 2nd Overall 1st Blinkhorn Trophy (with Charlie on the steery stick thing) Burton Week 2006 Porthpean 9th Overall 5th Burton Cup and best result Round Sheppey Race 2006 Won medium handicap
