My first event in the laser was the youth nationals although with a bigger rig, the radial. The Monday saw light winds and only 2 races completed. On Tuesday there were fairly strong winds but 4 races were finished. Wednesday was extremely windy but the radial fleet took to the water to put on a show for Princess Anne, a guest at the event. The wind strength of 30 knots gusting 45 knots and shifting 35 degrees at a time, meant numerous capsizes and about half the fleet retired including me. On Thursday and Friday the wind was so strong that no racing was to be held so a whole load of us set up a study corner to revise for our exams and blocked Largs SC hallway.
After the Youths I have been racing at my home club, Loch Tummel, and at different locations with the laser travellers. Last Sunday the 17th of May I was at my home club again and came first in the fast handicap race in the morning and third in the afternoon race. Just got to keep it up now!
