Rob, there is no major work to be done. He functions well and just needs a couple of things ironing out. Looking forward to meeting you this weekend.
Jim, when head to head with Phil and James in Kipper (a dog) there wasn't much difference in speed. He had much newer, slightly bigger sails and the ability to out point due to us not pulling enough kicker on

. This was on the fairly windy first day. I think if we knew where to point the boat we would have been snapping at his heals all away around the course. Phil is just a much better sailor than me!
At the inlands Stu and I were slowing down a lot and ducking the Lee's (upwind on the same tack) as we weren’t racing and didn't want to get in there way. It was blowing close to 40 knots though. I've also beaten 12 foot skiffs around the course, but maybe in this case that’s not saying too much...
Basically if it's windy you'll do well. If it's really windy you'll do very well. In the light you suffer but who wants to sail in the light stuff anyway
