FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR OUT!!!
That was definitely the second most fun thing I've ever done lying down!!
A huge thanks to the guys at the Adelaide Land Yacht Club for showing me the ropes on their race day and letting me race in three of them and an even bigger thanks for them keeping out of my way during those races.
We had ideal conditions for my first day out with the breeze at about 18kph (so I'm told) I wouldn't have wanted it any stronger just yet.
A couple of lessons were learnt today, firstly keep away from the puddles, secondly I desperately need a front mud guard, thirdly I just gotta do that again!
I'm told we were reaching speeds of 60 - 80 kph, but it felt more like 200 kph to me
I only spun out about 6 times and Ross was bitterly disappointed with me for not tipping over. He said I was obviously not pushing it hard enough.
Once again thanks guys, that was a most excellent day out. If anyone hasn't tried this I stongly recommend you do
I've posted a couple of pics.
PS Yes Paul I know the sail has to come down a bit. Didn't have time to do the fine trimming today
