So upwind its slower (obviously) but downwind in a blow is amazingly quick.
Because I started so late the Musto Skiffs caught me in the first beat and we all round the windward mark together.
Kites went up and as we all caught a huge gust we burned across the whole top of Queen Mary from right to left and gybed past the bund and down towards the clubhouse-ish to the leward mark.
By the time we all reached the leward mark I was approx 15-20 seconds behind the last skiff.
Now I reckon that is really good speed.....and it was really good fun keeping up with them.
Upwind of course they spanked me, but that is to be expected.
When I was near the K6 and went off on a broad 2 sail reach I left them standing.
I was really happy today.
:o)
