Nationals is going well. Sailing conditions were great today with a decent breeze kicking for races 4 and 5 and some very close racing. Arnaud had a bit of drama before the start of race 3 after he broke one of his shrouds where it attaches to the plate. Back out for race 4 however he had some good battles with Simon who is currently leading the regatta. Mike Cooke also had more than his fair share of dramas, after looking very quick in one of the races with his new foils he was forced to retire with more breakages. Will be interesting to see how he fares tomorrow given the forecast for decent breeze.
3 more races tomorrow in 11+ knots, hopefully some more good results for the Queen Mary Mothies. Heres some photos of the QM Mothies in action:
Thanks to Heather Davies of Fotoboat for the photography. Bring on the manly breeze for tomorrow's racing!
