New Year and the crazy mainsail

Had a good sail on New Years day down at Axebridge with Mr Fear and Bishop. Unfortunately there wasn't really enough wind to shine with marginal foiling throughout. Martin and Chris had a good battle for the first couple of laps with Martin eventually pulling out and it took me most of the race to get in front of Martin after missing the start.
I was out for a quick test sail in Olivier Vidal's new Ninja before he picked it up the following day and this gave me a chance to test out my new main which went surprisingly well! Designer of all things boaty, Mr Kevin Ellway has been contemplating sails for a bit and has come up with a pretty radical looking thing which was expertly built and delivered by Hyde and looks top notch. Looking forward to getting some proper testing in with it over the winter events to see how i stacks up.
My campaign for Switzerland starts here - watch out Europe... ;-)





Happy new year everyone!

    Damned, you weren't kidding about the main being radical! I look forward to seeing it in the flesh next weekend!

    Cheers,
