Brilliant Kevan especially the one of Shotgun's bottom with Graham and Zoe doing something they rarely do in public (falling in). That was near the club I believe when the clubhouse wind indicator was peaking at 35mph. 8)
Well it certainly felt fairly breezy as the gusts performed dances around the boat before deciding which direction to finally hit you from. Shot gun was on a mission, aided by Paul Turner's additional wings. She was rushing along like a train, which was fine until the de-railment http://www.national12.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=84&pid=431#top_display_media
A legendary day's river sailing which won't be matched for sometime, hopefully giving us time to recover.

Ah ha, now I see why Geoff & Amelia were going so fast, they were hiking out http://www.national12.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=84&pid=440#top_display_media
A fantastic day at TVSC in some very windy conditions. Love the pictures. Nicole and I need time now to recover for Hykeham.

many thanks Kevan for some very memorable photos, I know which ones I liked :)
I like the understatement "fairly breezy", but then what else would one expect from such stalwarts of 12 sailing. I must admit the tacking was very heavy - ok so I didn't do as much as everyone else due to significnant gear failure at the back of the boat.
Really hoping for more gentle conditions at Hykeham..

Do we read nut on tiller failure there?:)
