Great write up shorty.
It was a bit challenging sailing in the stronger wind which caused a bit of mayhem around the course.
I’d like to thank you for picking me up on a rule I wasn’t familiar with. I had performed a tack from port to starboard inside the “zone” a couple of times when rounding buoy 2 when there was a boat already on starboard near me. After the tack, it almost felt like I was barging so I checked with the affected sailors to see if they were OK with what I had done. Because we were now both on starboard, we felt that I was OK and had rights to take the inside track around the buoy.
I think I have found the rule which indicates that I was in the wrong and I had no rights forcing the other boat to give me buoy room.
I thought I would post it in case other people are not familiar with the rule.
Both days don’t look real well but seing as the calendar is up and there are a few starters, I’ll come along.
I’m really looking forward to the next fly day. Off course to give the Corsair another spin around the field.
I have dusted off some oldies, repaired others and applied Kermit’s Maintenance class tips to make sure these ones will be ready for another fly….
A very interesting class Kermit. I think we should all take that class as we are guilty of those failures every now and then 🙂
Great effort Kermit considering the problem with the video.
What you have is very good. Editing video is so time consuming and frustrating when it doesn’t work out. I think I speak for everyone in saying that we are very grateful to our dedicated videographers for the extra effort you put in after the event. So a big thank you to you and Mike👍
Davpep, the foam putty we discussed today can be purchased from Hobbytools.

A few of us use it and I reckon everyone will recomend it for foam repairs 👍
A great day’s flying Mike and fantastic videos again. Gee, the Wild Wing came close to Fab’s Bix in the first video!
You summed the day up nicely Shorty 👍
We had it all today. Nice weather, good wind and a cheerful bunch of sailors who appeared to enjoy themselves.
Following is an assortment of hat cam videos with a few more to come.

Great write up Colin.
Bodge, while you’re enjoying the tropics, I’m having fun on the snow slopes at the Cadrona Alpine Resort in NZ.
