Still not a full summer’s day but the grass had been cut (again) so we were snag free. It was actually getting close to a traditional Blackheath Summer’s day in that there was a cycle of thermal activity which meant that every 10 or 15 minutes the wind peaked and then dropped away.

We had a complete mix of sails, from full to full vented with a couple of mid vents in the middle with mostly race spars.

Rowan joined us today after his self-inflicted exile for his final year at university.

Next formal event is Beverley near Hull at the end of July. Just a little bit of preparation is now required.
