Season 2005

I have joined the Shirehampton sailing club in January 2005. I have been elected Honary depuy treasury for the year in order to learn. For further information about Shirehampton sailing club click on the link:

I have also purchased a laser that is shown on the two pictures below.

The below left picture showed me upright during a strong wind race (between F3 and F5). The boat behing (a GP14) capsized after trying to jib. For information purposes, I almost could not jib most the race. Furthermore, I had to abondon the race. The picture below right showed me try to put the laser upright.

During the summer, I have continued to sail. Below are one picture during a strong wind evening sailing. The wind was around force 4 to 5.
laser4 (79203 bytes)
In September 2005, I raced in force 4 wind. Below it is shown one of the moment when the boat was straight. I capsized a few minutes before that.

In October 2005, at the following race, I did much better where I passed the RS200 and kept away from her. The boat has been slightly improved.
