Rest, Recuperation and Repairs

Today was a rest day from the GP14 National Championships. 

13941 had a problem with her centre-board during the racing yesterday. So Chris & I had to jack up the boat to remove it, then re-do the fixings.

Apart from a bit of basic repairs, it was a quiet day. A few of the guys took the chance to grab some sleep. I just read a (non-sailing) book. 

I don't have any photos from today, but the one above was taken when we were checking the rig tension on day one. 

Then it was time to swap sailing stories, and discuss tactics. 

This photo shows Andy & Dennis discussing different tactical approaches (to deal with the seagulls, who keep making such a nuisance!)

Tomorrow will be some hard sailing, with 3 races. Looking forward to it.
