GREAT CONDITIONS FOR TRAINING IN HYERES

A little bit of rain with a temperature as if we were on a ski-field!

 

Today was the 1st day out on the water in Hyeres. It is cold to say the least,

but with a nip in the air it produces a fairly stable breeze. Great twin wiring

conditions for the Tornados.

Over the course of the week we have picked up the lease car, trailer and

boat from northern Germany and taken in all the fantastic autobahn sites

along the way. A little sorting out with logistics in Hyeres, a bit of rest, along

with changing systems on the charter boat, we made for a late afternoon

sail today to check the boat and ourselves! All still in one piece.

Boat feels great so over the course of the next 10 days before the regatta

starts we have some great sailing ahead.

The plan is to work on speed the first 4 days, then leading up to the final

days of preparation will include boat handling, starting and mark roundings.

Thanks for the support and to all the people of have made this possible.
