The Weigh-In

Dave and I had to empty the boat out over the last couple of days as it was weighed for an IRC certificate (Will give the boat a handicap like in golf) last night. We both now have very full cars and a very light boat. In fact, Mystere rose by about 2 inches from the water. We are racing on Thursday evening so we are hoping that she will be quicker. Unfortunately the new sails will not be arriving till next week… this is very unfortunate as it is the ‘Dresdner Channel Island Yacht Race’ on Saturday. This is from Guernsey to Jersey this year and is a highlight of the racing calendar… usually over 100 boats take part and I have to helm as I am entering the ‘Young Helm’ category.
On another note… my website keeps going up and down. This is due to a hardware fault on the webserver. I hope that bargainhost sort this out quickly as it is very frustrating!
