The swampy bit at the bottom is quite flat.

Drink enough fine ale from the club, and everything will level out in a happy equilibrium. That was always my best plan anyway.

Just had a look at Westons website. The NOR there says different times?
Andy could you confirm which is correct please.

For those of you that love bimbling; Fuzzy has a few new mods. The boom is now 15cm higher, has new adjustable lowers, new raised for-stay attachment and jib proder. new kick bars (with pro-grip no-less!), adjustable cap shrouds and sailing with 135kg crew weight... and new magic marine underpants!
Weston here we come...I just hope we can get in it.

I can confirm it is indeed 10am Saturday and now 9:30am Sunday.  The version on the website was draft and is being corrected.

And I thought that the tides got later each day.

I can feel a Sunday morning discard. But given the lack of 11 knots in the forecast there could be quite a few discards.

Yes I don't quite understand the tide logic.   We are driving down from Sunbury each morning as Jill needs to work Friday and Saturday evenings.   Still not as bad as getting up for RTI.

Looks OK for foiling Saturday?   Looks like it could be a 1 day open though, the forecast for Sunday morning looks bad for all.  If it doesn't improve I imagine we may pack up after Saturday.

The only people who Sunday AM looks good for is Magma.

They have 4 masts of about 90ft each to float out of Portsmouth and a 10 knot wind limit :0)
Was able to go see these yesterday - a truely epic bit of work and some seriously humbling skills on show.

I think that they are 90m.

That would help light air performance.

Still looking like a Goldilocks forecast for Saturday.
