Pete D - great to see you at Wk, I was only joking about parking on my grass ;) - great pb mate.
Stuffed my x9 boom twin lock after first run, joining my Tm45 v7, & Fortrex 201 at the bottom of the lake, otherwise 43-44 would have been in order - ;) maybe next time, but the sands of time are ebbing away - lake closure Jan 09
Eventually (thanks JS) went to about 5cm of -ve outhaul not sure how the bust twin lock on port effected things - bit sloppy in the feel and loss of direct power when the gusts hit.
Totally knackered 5hr slog.
Great day tho, although a wee bit nipppy.
The only downside was the absence of the 3 h's Messuers Hardwick Hayford and Hinkley. - missed you guys, not quite the same when you not out - you 2 Gusty! ;)
Hope you all get back home safely!
