This weekend was the last time I will compete on British waters before the Olympics. It was quite fitting that it was in Weymouth the waters for the next Olympic sailing event post China.

Saturday was very light winds and the race officer decided to hold the fleet ashore. Unfortunately the wind dropped and the racing for the day was canceled. A few of us decided that we would hold our own mini regatta using model RC Lasers off the pontoons. Penny Clark came out on top just ahead of her husband and Stewart Blithfield, it was a close fight between Nick and I for the wooden spoon.

Sunday was much better with the wind coming in from the East before swinging South East and increasing. We had three good races in the harbour in a 5 -12 knot breeze. I sailed really well to win all three races and take the event overall.

Im off to China on Wednesday with Nick and Im looking forward to starting my training in Qingdao.
