An absolutely awesome day
Written by Stevie Morrison | 08 July 2010
We had an absolutely perfect day today; I
guess a solid performance in many ways.
We managed to get 4 races in which was great, we sailed in near perfect
conditions 14 to 18 knots, a little chop and sunshine.
We have four more races to get in, so we’d
expect three more tomorrow and then one more on Saturday before a final medal
race on Saturday.
We don’t really have a game plan; it’s
about keeping our heads focused on what we have to do and putting in solid
performances.
We’ve had a
reasonably hard year and its fair to say we’ve been a little frustrated with
our performances this year we know we are capable, more than capable at
performing on the race course so it is great to be achieving on the water this
last week.
We have been competing in a new boat ,
which we gave the rather classy name “rubber lover girl” (watch the video
here), it seems we are becoming famous for the interesting boat names we have!
It would appear a little German engineering
seems to have gone a long way and we are noticing a real difference in terms of
boat speed on the race course, which is doing wonders for our confidence
levels.
There is still a long way
to go and nothing is certain, we need to keep working hard and hopefully we
will come out of this regatta with a good result.
We’re in good spirits the sun is shining
and we’re looking forward to a couple of good days racing ahead........
