A touch underpowered at first but as the wind picked up just perfect. Had several fun races over the day with up to fourteen competing. Total carnage at the gybe marks at times with about twelve of the fourteen having a dip. Tried a downwind race from the clubhouse straight through the middle of an open meeting dingy race, Them sailors sure looked angry. Sunny,warm and a constant wind in the afternoon. Sailed until my dodgey knee could take no more.

"Sailed until my dodgy knee could take no more" - I'm sure in our younger days we used to sail until the sun set - How times change!
