Rough Handicap Challenge

[pyrojames]

After the first and only one of these cdG has decided to try and better her original time, aiming for sub 3 hours.

Forecast and tide for tomorrow are looking good. We plan to sail about 1100 and return about 1400, err, obviously!

Any others up for the rather late advised challenge?

What is the point of a pointless challenge?

Ah, sorry just realised that my original post was a little cryptic. The Rough Handicap Challange is a self timed "race" from Languard Cardinal round Roughs Tower and back to Languard. It can be clockwise or anti.

It's a bit of fun. Its a Rough Handicap. because we will take any handicap PY, IRC etc and cross compare to get a rough comparison between boats.

The first was sailed back in 2010 IIRC, with three of use sitting the Lightship at Levington, wondering what to do the next day.

Would have loved to take part but the weather isn't the best for it

We have dropped the attempt, based on the weather and the other half only finishing work at midnight last night...

Waited for the pretty vicious morning squall to go over at 10.30 this morning (38Knots reported at Landguard, and driving rain), then bimbled out on a nice little Varne 27, Harwich, Wrabness and back in. Very nice

CdG looking comfortable at her mooring.
