Sailing at Mersea

[merlin3688]

Sailed in the Friday evening race at Mersea last night, first time in many years, same faces but all looked a little bit older! The club was still as friendly as ever with good food afterwards.
The race was a little short but understand a bouy had gone missing. Highlight of the evening was seeing a yacht put the spinnaker up upside down. No names mentioned but he sails out of Brightlingsea!
This was our first practice leading up to the worlds in June, a little tweaking here and there but all worked well.

Good stuff.. You have to have the odd 'Spinnaker upside down' moment. Adds to the fun.

Best of luck for June..

Once set a Stella spinnaker upside down [well, sideways].
The real worry was that it took several minutes to work out why it wouldn't sheet properly!

Never mind mate. There's always motorboats..
