N3400 was the only 12 sailing entered in Aldeburgh regatta this year. On friday the fast handicap started at 14.40 and at 14.42 a gust of 44.6 mph flattened the fleet except for one small white boat....An awsesome display of high wind sailing and boat construction. It couldn't have been much different just down the coast at Mersea.....
we were sailing round on the start line on friday at mersea then they cancelled the race was getting windy.
mind you gillespie suffered no ill effects from heavy wind.
