    Isn’t sailing great when the sun shines?

    Laser Masters

    I’m recently back from the Laser Masters, which were held at Pwllheli. This made it almost a home match as it is a mere 6 hours from Edinburgh and not the usual 12 to get to the south coast. I’ve sailed at Abersoch a few times but never Pwllheli, so it was nice to try somewhere …   Read More

    That Sinking Feeling

    With just the briefest of references to the brilliant Bill Forsyth film of the same name, there was a definite sinking feeling at Largo Bay last Saturday when we turned up for a combined Laser and RS400 one day regatta. It was all looking good with the sun shining after a foggy week on the east …   Read More

    End of the season so soon

    I’ve not managed to get much sailing in over the past 2 months due to family and work commitments and last weekend, when I was free was way too windy. I checked the windspeed just...
