Arrived at the club around 10am, it took a while to rig up as Harry was helping. We launched around 1hr later, by which time the wind had picked up a little. We didn't rig the jib up a once out on the water Harry got a little scared at the prospect of a near capsize. Which wouldn't have been a good thing as we haven't done any capsize drills. I dropped Harry of at shore about 1pm as he was getting cold and wanted to sit in the car. So Off I went on my own. I pulled the Jib out and off I went. A little more power in the sail helped with the speed, and although the wind wasn't great, it was consistant so did manage to get her up and plaining a little. Only had an hour on the water left so couldn't join in on any racing.
Did manage to get a storage place for the boat though so next time the rigging should only take about 10 minutes, leaving more time to join in on the racing.
