Cowess week race - got to helm a J-109
One of our suppliers was kind enough to let me go racing for a day in cowes today.
Fantastic fun, we had a breeze gusting 30 knots in the morning, and I got to helm a J109 ( Asymetric kite, carbon pole, fast cruiser/1 design ) Managed to broach ( well no-one let go of the kicker or main! ) but got some nice speeds on the clock.

Great boat, next time I have £125k free, I may buy one :)
It was also the trafalgar fleet review, hundreds of ships, and we got buzzed by 3 chinooks flying in formation with about 15 smaller helicopters - quite a frightening sight really.
