Very gusty day at Draycote: 8-18kn
Awesome sail in Loco as the combination of Tom Slater and Nigel Modern induced a tendency to nose dive never seen before. Some spectacular leaps by Tom to preserve an intact mainsail during some wild capsizes - sterling work!
Moment of the day was the look on face of the the guy learning to race in a Pico - he began to regret trying to cross our bow with us going full on downwind, which we had tried to discourage, when Loco got a gust and...well you can guess the rest.
Jamie got his foiling moth up and running, showing skill and bravado right up to the moment he clipped the leach of Loco's mainsail with the top of his mast when sailing through her to lee upwind
Hopefully Ade. Will pop up with tales of Sweet Dreams. Ade was pointing spectacularly high we think...though it's possible recent changes to Loco and a slack rig set up (rushed rigging for no good reason) contributed.
Draycote seemed to enjoy having us there - I think they were hoping to see a pitch-pole. At one point the guy in the rescue boat seemed to be having difficulty controlling his hilarity having witnessed one of our capsizes.
