Unfortunately I can't make it this year, I have a long standing arrangement that was scheduled before the nationals date was set - a shame, I felt we were getting to grips with the venue by the final race last year! On the positive side Mike will be attending with crew Mandy, and I hear rumours that the Roosters will be in attendence.

Hope you all have a good nationals, looks like a mixed bag of conditions like last year.

Cheers, Mark.

Good luck to everyone at the Nationals this weekend. We won't be there this year as my crew has gone on holiday to Greece - must have been a tough decision for him.
Mick. 645.

Hi
I may have a spare crew, first to offer me a beer gets him.
He is a very keen 15 year old. Wants to get in to a proper boat. Has crewed for me in the past.
I can bring him along if you let me know soon.

Wow! Now that was perfect sailing weather all weekend! Sunshine and force 3 to 4 wind. Low turnout, but close racing never the less.
I'm sorry Annie and myself didn't stop for the prize giving, it was just that I had a night shift to do (I've just got home now). Had to drive from LOSSC to home, drop boat and national champ crew off, then turn round and drive to Botley train station to do my night shift. (Botley is about 9 miles from LOSSC).

I would like to thank the LOSSC Team for the racing and beach efforts, along with the gally staff at the club and signal station who did those really tasty bacon butties.

Also thanks to Dave Poupard for getting my new mast from Rondar to lossc, Bob for lending us chainplates and shrouds, Roger and Ranjitt for their wings, Josh for the rig tension guage and anybody else who I've forgotten who lent us things over the weekend!

Thanks to John & Juliet, Mike & Mandy, Dave & Rachel for providing excellent close racing over the weekend.

Sorry again for not attending the prize giving.

See you all at Garda hopefully. Meanwhile, I'm off to bed!

Pete & Annie

looks like you had a lot of fun... tell me more, how many boats were on the starting line, how many races... Did you win ?

8 boats, 6 races, 1 winner, which was Pete and Annie (1013) followed by John and Juliet (1003) then Mike and Mandy (881) and writing the report this year is Dave and Rachel (1002)
