Richard and myself went out for a pleasant sail on FarrOut in the double handed series. Although it was quite busy I think we made a good show of ourselves and we would have won if we hadn't have gone the wrong way. This meant a diversion back to "B" mark when we were almost at "M". We caught up Chloe II (the eventual winner) at "M" and sailed underneath them with Rich sitting on the rail, me tidying up string and Mich' Desj' (the autohelm) steering - fun stuff.
We saw about 20 kts of wind and the no. 4 and full main was the right choice meaning that we could bring on mainsail as we could handle it. The tight spinnaker runs were fun with no weight on the rail, but we only had one round up which we managed to get back on the rails.
