Apologise for the lack of updates over the last two days, but the Hotel internet has been down and there has not been much to report.
Wedenesdays sailing was cancelled as there was too much wind and Thursdays sailing cancelled as there was no wind! So no final sereies of racing.
Workum deserved better than this, they put on a great regatta from an organisational point dealing with 400+ Laser 4.7's without a blink, they were just let down at the final hurdle by the all important element we need wind.
They tried to get the Gold and Silver fleets out on Wedenesday after a four hour postponement, but we had 30+ knots on the beech so was never really going to happen.
On Thursday racing was bought forward by an hour in the hope of getting three races in, but we had the centre of the low right over us, so no wind at all, then half an hour after racing was abandoneed it was blowing 30+ knots and lashing dwon with rain. Not ideal for packing up!
Some of us ran to grab earlier ferries whilst others stayed for the price giving. A great result of Third overall for Geogina Povall, plus some great sailing and lots of good coaching from the GBR coaches.
Now it back to the UK and time to plan for the next events. We are hoping to make the Nationals a Great event for the Laser 4.7 class, so please enter and come along for some great sailing out in Weymouth bay.
