Title: Steve Nicholson Trophy - Sat 30th Jan - NorthamptonSC
Post by: peter_barton on January 27, 2010, 06:05:20 PM
Who is up for this?

Its a perfect Cherub forecast;
14mph. Enough to stretch the '05 Cherub's long legs and unleash its might without being overly testing - hopefully.
Full blue sky sunny but a bit chilly. Ice bimbles are coming off!

1 day only (Saturday), 2 races, asy fleet, Handicap (all start together),  windward/leewards, first start 12.30, entry is a very reasonable £15, proceeds to Asthma.

I am going, this time with stunt man mate Dave. Please dont let us be all alone again!

Excellent work Pete!

How was it? I was out riding my bike in the snow yesterday so still a bit cold for me to get in a boat in my shorty!

I'm giving serious consideration to epoxying your feet to that boat to stop you selling Ronin.

Same conditions as last year 8-14kn ish. Bright sunshine made the frosty night bearable by mid morning.

In the light bits we struggled but in the gusts we made big gains, especially downwind. If it had been any lighter our performance would have dropped off dramatically relative to the other classes.
