Guest Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If anyone is interested, we are looking at having a couple of "shakedown" races on Feb 20th. We'll just tag along with the RAYC summer series, and bribe the race officials into laying a wing mark for us. It's a long time since most of us have sailed olympic courses, so some practice might not be a bad thing. Cheers, L. Link to post Share on other sites
