Despite dropping to fourth on the last day I am glad we got the last two races in, had some great battles with boats around us.

Lovely videos to share between us - but is anyone (publicity?) writing a nationals report for the wider public such as Y&Y?  Or should we have a collective go on here today?

Well done Haley.  Here is a puerile challenge.  See if you can get more profanasaurus references in than the 200 nationals report a few of us put together over a few bottles of wine on a day with no racing.

Cracking competition this year despite the light conditions, great racing throughout the fleet whether vying for a podium or trying to beat someone who always seems to be in front. Glad that we had some racing on day 4 as it was really well contested. Congratulations to Andy and Jill on their first win, let's hope for more breeze next year;)

I'll give you one - angry pirates - the rest you need to find out.  Google/the urban dictionary is a mine of useless info.

Missed the pasties! but maybe that helped us in the second race of the day.

After the Lee nationals Y&Y were keen to put the event report in the magazine with some photos.  Since we have lots of great shots to choose from there is every reason to get a report in to for the added publicity that it may bring. Well done Hayley. 

next event we should try add help the report writer collect together details on the day while it is fresh making the write up much quicker and easier.

I have done a report of our nationals for Frampton's newsletter. Thanks to Tom i was able to include a couple of his excellent shots.  Just spreading the love which may encourage a few more teenagers into the future fleet.
