We had great weather today, again the sun was out and the wind was blowing, starting at around 15 knots but slowly decreasing all day.
A good three hours was spent on the water with boat speed and boat handling excercises plus a race that the BEL sailors joined in.
Once ashore the sailors started to get into checking their boats over ready for the event proper, interesting to see mainsheets wearing out after relativly little use, (just goes to show they do play their sheet!)
The campers are now settling in and enjoying the campsite right next to the boats, after a little banter Ian Bullock eventually got his BBQ fired up which made all the kids watching feel very hungry
Tomorrow is an early start, with the RYA group metting on the beech at 9 ready for a good couple or three hours on the water, followed by the final boat prep and opening ceremony.
Racing starts on Saturday and the boys fleet all have trackers fitted, so you can watch at home
