Refits
now and then I do refits or advice. Last months I inspected a Grand Soleil and a Southerly for repaire.
Lelystad Regatta and 200 myls Solo
In September I sailed two regatta's.
In the Lelystad regatta I was the only solo and was put in the duo clas.
Till the last mark I sailed in third position but the autopilot stopped and I was unable to set the spinaker in 20 knots of wind so I end up in the midle of the fleet.
In the 200 myls solo, in the midle of the night I felt with my back on the tiller. The tiller broke so I stopped for repairs. I missed the good winds and finished 6th on line honours and 23th on handicap in a group of 100 boats.
