I have noticed previously that the high level cloudscape can be particularly varied and interesting in the remains of Atlantic hurricanes that have been swept up by the jet stream that delivers the weather to the UK.  Today was one of those occasions, with temperatures well into double figures as well!

Light SW breeze so mostly full 1.5s with race rods.  Nothing called today, not least because minds (and some bodies) were elsewhere…

The sleeved kevlar turned out to be too tough really for the link line application but fortunately the alternative arrived just in time from Holland.  Today we started MW on re-rigging a Rev2 stack that was flown occasionally back in the nineties.  The sails are still bright so had obviously not seen much ‘daylight’.  We may include the additional Rev2 ‘prototype’ that came into my possession at some point early on in Rev history!

I decided that preparing the link lines for the 1.5JMH stack would be an indoor job so that delivery can be quick and easy on the field, as with the Rev1 stack at Dieppe.
