18ft Skiff Mark Foy Trophy

Sunny and Hot here. and Windless. Apparently it has been windy, but actually every day since arrival the wind has turned it down a notch.

We spent the first two days rigging a new big rig, new mast, boom and working sails. All looks good, and then got out for the practise race on Saturday. Light winds, two ish on the wire and small pressure bands made for tight racing. We won in the end, but got a bit lucky with Active Air snagging the top mark, and then the set off mark, and Trevor running on to a few cray pots. Lots of fast boats, including Howie (Macquarie Real Estate), Graham Catley and Cult of Mason (Investec). We are rigged with GPS, so you can follow the practise race here.

Yesterday was scheduled for race one, but no wind until 5:30 when the RO abandoned with AP over N. Thereafter the breaze filled in to 10 - 15 knots.

Race results, reports and photos will be on the carnac site.

Windguru not looking positive, but hopefully we'll see some thermals with the warm weather.

Kazuko agrees with me that the gps replay looks like a whole lot of sperm.
