FoilTown

I’m heading back to Namibia tomorrow. Having left my job after more then 4 years. I went out there earlier in the year with Vestas Sail Rocket trying to break the world speed sailing record. Unfortunately we were plagued by light winds and didn’t manage to break the world record.

This time we will be hoping for more wind then we had at the recent open at Lymington. I think the club must be one of the friendliest I have been to and certainly the friendliest on the south coast. How many clubs great you with a bear when you get off the water. We didn’t sail on Saturday but we did just about get one race in the next day. When the wind died and the tide started to build I spent the last 30 minuets of the race within about 10 boat lengths of the windward mark. A few times I even got past the windward. Still it was enough for me to finally win a race at a moth event for the first time in Road Runner. It might have something to do with the new foils I got from Mike at Aardvark Racing.
