IST RACE FOR 4 YEARS ON A LASER

after the trip on MBM7424 bournmouth pier i did the Bent cup race for single handed in the afternoon at 2pm.
the cats were in the macdonna cup sailing single handed fully rigged. mass start and it was a challenging light wind race for one lap gradually increasing as the race went on. i was with rob seal in the raidal and tried to stay with him to get  measure of what i was doing wrong etc, he had the edge on me as my tacks were all fingers and thumbs crossing over the tiler. my reach legs were ok and made ground.
a squall came thru with some rain and it was hiking out time and a little overpowered on the beat.
on the 4th ;lap i could se rob was gaining on the next few lasers and going to number 4 we were all within a minute and a half.
i was last laser but that was only to be expected, normally i never sail a standard but gave it ago.
the boat went ok and no problems.
time 1h 2m 8m  8.5 miles approx  on handicap overall for both fleets as a mas start i also beat all the catamarans as well RESULT
