Well we had to try it... Brancaster's old speed course.. high tide in an offshore Southerly.... very very gusty... beautiful place to sail - but today it didn't work. Tide was a bit too high... so the course was to gusty.... Wil I sail there again as a speed course? Probably not - but could be nice on a square day for Alphas. Or... it might work as a speed course on a lowe tide. Need to check Will Trossel's 37 knot run there to see what tide was like
