Well what an interesting day. We went down for a normal day of sailing but it was far from. First of all our start of race was delayed due to the King of Derwent race and the fact their start was interfering with our course. Subsequently our race was delayed for an hour. After watching the weather come in over mount wellington the King of the Derwent boats out sailing suffered there were torn kites and masts in the water. Whilst on the beach with the AP flag up some strong gusts came through and in the carpark Impact suffered some damage. The boats on their dollys in the carpark moved during the gusts Impact was blow over and suffered some hull damage. Then the fleet was forced to rig and sit on the beach while the King of derwent continued to get blasted we sat on the beach and held our boats down in the gusts.
Impact has been repaired as new by some experts floating around the Sharpie fleet. Now the race has been postponed to tomorrow with an early start and 2 races planned we are resting and waiting for tomorrow.
Cheers
