'Farr Out' hoists their new 'secret weapon' on Thursday 5th Augusts evening race.....well almost!They did get it all the way up in the end (and to be fair they we're pretty damn quick in a straight line once they got settled) rapidly gobbling up the lead we had built up on the beat, and had us quite worried as we rounded 'C'. Fortunately for us the boys on Farr Out we're a bit more 'Spaced Out' when it came to judging the gybing angles down the run.......maybe they have been watching 'Awesome Aussie Skiffs' too much and they thought they'd get the Laser28 up onto the plane????????
If you read this guys, try chapter 12 of Frank Bethwaite's 'High Performance Sailing'.
A lacklustre 3rd on corrected time, perhaps gifted to us by Farr Out, but we just weren't close enough to Sapphire and Excalibur.
Will be interesting to see how the handicaps are affected by all these new sails popping up all over the place.......sometimes it hurts to be 'One Design' (SULK)
There've been some teething troubles! We're getting the hang of that ayso though. It's always comedy on FarrOut
