End of Season November Blast

[andy_peters]

Apologies we didn't make it - family illness.  How was the blast?  Pretty windy all weekend.

[JP233]

So, what happened?
The biblical wind didn't turn up, that's what.

The Midlands possee anticipated massive wind so left everything at home.
Upon arrival at the club we found a Ching! Rigging born slippy too!!
A plan was hurried together that involved a heroic dash from Draycote to Warwick for sails the angriest green boat.

The rest of the day was spent taking people for joy rides in sub epic cherub wind.
Boats in attendance were:
Banshee ambulance
Born slippy
Ej
Loco
Shiny

But let it be said, it was a good days sailing, just to be on the water again.

Anyone doing the Dash?

Good luck to those that are. Looks like a mix of wind and not too warm.

[JP233]

some of us are doing it, but not in cherubs :S

Robin a streaker
Ellie a laser
josh a scorpian
and me a lowrider

Reason being, its not going to be a cherub friendsly course.
also we dont want to damage what clive has done to our handicap i recent years.

[andy_peters]

Best you damage it and badly.  Clive is far too fast.

[JP233]

The issue with that is that I would then have to wake up earlier to start the race with the oppis.
Swings and round about a I suppose.

I spent a week getting obliterated by everything at Brightlingsea in th summer, mind you I was racing off of Riot Vans handicap of 890

Have fun with the hiking. These events are not easy in a cherub.
However sailjuice have us on the same py as the 29er. In the right conditions a cherub could win. 90% off starters cannot.
It will require a lot of luck. But would be great publicity. People still remember Guy winning the bloody Mary in flat Stanley.
If the forecast is good we will try and see the Datchet flyer.
