Pardon the French, but we had some shit hot racing for round 1 at Palmie on the weekend.

7 boats on the water. Lead changing after every tack & gybe, any one of 4 boats could of won each race.

Thanks to the guys and girls at Palm Beach Sailing Club for looking after us, see you again soon.

Looking forward to Round 2 at Speers Point on the 19th Sept, should have 2 more boats on the water which will be good.

PS: James any overall results from the weekend, I forgot to look.
