RemarksCouple of hours sailing before first pre-season rugby game.  Out on water for 9 in less than 5kts but it soon picked up as expected so headed up to the old house.  Cruised around up there for about an hour but couldn't get higher than 26kts witht the 50cm fin.

Headed back to the club to put 44cm in and went down to the Church for the final hour.

Great to get out after a few windless weeks and try the 9.2 at last. 

Shame I coudn't stay but we won 36-0!!
