commadores cup 23rd may

a nice summers day and an easterly wind.
in the morning i finally sorted the downhaul return bungy that leads back tru the main beam. however after setting it up it now needs adjusting.
greg was down at the club and said you doing the pevril today its your fav race. my heart sank and i threatened to pack the boat up. the course was set and we only had to go around the windward mark then pevril then around the triangle and then 3 sausages. thats ok providing there is some wind. we launched 45 mins early and john was out on the wire again. we waited for the race and when it started the wind dropped completly. we rounded one in 3rd and headed toward the ledge.
we never ever got there. after an hour tim page abandoned the race. we decided a few secounds before it was that we were going to anyway.
nice day froa suntan but that about all.
the rudder problem from 2 weeks ago is now sorted and seemed ok.
a month to go to the big race, cant wait but need some pratice in the mean time!!!
