Title: Hoo Freezer
Post by: roland_trim on January 11, 2009, 12:54:24 PM

Anyone fancy it? Accomodation in Central London or camping on the potentially balmy Med?

Born Slippy will certainly be braving it.

So there's a practice race on the Saturday starting at 10.00 am, and the race propper on the Sunday at 10.30?

So is this just one race each day in the morning?

Put the Locoists down for this one, and I'm sure some floor space could be made available in our neck of the woods.

Sorry they give me an upset tummy. You might like to know that the Hoo freezer is on 7th and 8th of Feb and clashes with the Tiger. We'll be at Hoo as it is one of the Wilsonian home events.

I'm thinking I could do it in the 3000 if it's windy and I get my tow bar wired up. Does anyone need a crew?

I can only imagine its going to be a very cold one.....

We were going to do the tiger, but due to my injury and the weather....i think the duvet is a much better option :)

A great breeze and sunshine for day one saw us and suicide out playing, sadley Will and the Trims didn't make it. The course was like a piece of spaggheti , intended to give all points of sail, it meant Suicide who had a bit of a nightmare and retired got first place, as no one knew where they were going. All the same a great sail with lots of twinning.
Day two. we had less breeze today but Roland and Hayley made it out ( sexy looking sails guys) . Another wiggly course today , and yes we still twinned. We made a couple of mistakes and took a swim , the wind wasn't cherub friendly with lots of half trapeezing and crouching in the boat. Still in the gusts we managed to show our transom to a couple of 29ers. Suicide finished not far behind us, with the Trims Last but happy to have made it round ,as they only finished the mast yesterday.
