Patrik Freerace 100. Overdrive 6.2m Black Project Weed Speed 24.  

Had a pretty good sail.  Was underpowered for a lot of it, then it was on!  Thanks so much to Nudie for helping fix a batten and also to Chris who is taking my sail to Neils.

Classic day at Primbee, a bit all over the place! Rigged two complete combos before even hitting the water, and switched between them a number of times, which seemed to work out well, finding a good wind range for a while - until it just got plain ballistic, and had to do a walk in.

Thrilled with the new Venom. Locked in for the whole ride, and really forgiving even in the sharpest, nastiest gust (new sails are nice, but after many road trips like today, it looks like it's also time for a new car - the old girl limping up and down the highway - only just made it back ).

Sailed with Dean, Nigel, Keith, and ofcourse a heap of Speedsters who were out there blitzing it.
