Sorry for no update yesterday. It was a very long day and I opted for sleep instead of the internet
Heats 3 & 4:
These two heats were held in a cold wet 20 to 30 knots. A long day for all with over five continuous hours on the water. The initial start for the day was delayed for an hour due to high winds and course laying boat being involved in rescues. Once we finally got under way, it still took two starts. Seems like the Sabre fleet is just as "jumpy" in the cold!
Richard Jackson pulled off a perfect pin end start and had a convincing lead at the top mark. Eventually Callum Burns hauled Richard in to take the lead on the last leg.
The 2nd race of the day was a carbon copy for Callum as he lead from the first mark taking the gun two laps later. Again the start was delayed until 4:15pm due to an overburden rescue crew but most of the fleet stuck it out and completed the race.
The wind was in excess of 30 knots at the end of the last race and these was a hairy run in for all after the race that resulted in a few casualties. The S**T of the Day award was won by Andy Mcintyer. Andy's vang broke leading to a tippy ride in. After a few capsizes, Andy washed up some way down the beach - well let's just say in the next postcode

No problem. A number of members of the fleet came to the rescue and dragged his dolly down the beach and back again.
Many more stories and I'm sure we'll be talking about "this day" for many years to come!
