Quietly progressing

Been a bit quiet on my blog, Christmas can have that effect, but I've been sailing when I can and look forward to racing resuming next weekend. I've found a configuration with my current rigs that seems to work best: My old AUS018 mainsail with the new Irwin jib - this seems to perform best in all conditions but does leave me .8m^2 under size. Not sure if I will have time (or access to a sailmaker) to sort this about before the nationals in 7 weeks.

Got out for a great sail yesterday before the 40+ degree heat kicked in, the boat is really feeling good and I am really hoping I can run with Hayden, Phil and Alex at the upcoming nationals. I'm also hoping to see if I've pegged back anything on Hayden over the Australia Day weekend at Yarrawonga (we all know how much I love lake sailing.....). Hopefully I can run with him on speed, if only to prove to myself that the Flatpack is a great boat let down by the nut on the tiller.
