The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist hopes it will change; the realist adjusts the sail

Tiger Trophy Report:

We went, we tried, we were conquered.

It was seriously windy, high 20knots, gusts in excess of 30. The racing went ahead on Saturday. We tried to sail, but it was too much. Twin trapezing, both sails flogging. Meant we couldn't tack. Sunday even more so, racing was canned, we played with bits of string.
