Thanks very much,

Guys,

Further feedback to the weekend. I'll try and get photos sorted depending upon when my camera dries out. I also have some photos from Jeff Rogers.

Feedback:

We went through where to go next - need to consider options, but if you need individual help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

team racing - use the rules, don't abuse them

don't re-cross the finish line

all boards must avoid contact (even if on right of way)

sailing with your eyes shut is a good way of getting a feel for the board!

downwind - lots of individual work but key points:

let outhaul off

go deep

get low

high clew

use the legs

look for the nose of the board through the sail

Further queries, let me know.

Ian
