wheels 543 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I was out on my boat earlier and a few yachts at Hobbsy were winding up for a race start. They finally started and were tearing down the river at a fair crack of pace. Four or five were running along the outside of the channel past me, but one was smack in the middle and in between all the moored boats and absolutely out of control. Way over sheeted and beinb constantly knocked over. I thought of great he's heading in my direction. He managed to get things in hand, althoguh it was more due to the wind being a little less down my end and he sailed by on the inside of me. Not a lot of room to be racing down that stretch and watching them do the pre start, I thought well no point in me ever trying that, there just ain't ebnough room for me to manouver.
