We would like to thank the two photographers Johnnie and Rami that came a long distance to film a report about us for the Israeli TV these past 3 days, we had a great time.
Now without any rest we are off to Porto Cervo to race in the Maxi worlds for the next 10 days.

There was no wind today at the last day of the 49er UK nationals, so racing got cancelled. However, we had great couple of days on the water with mixed weather conditions and very competitive fleet. We had our moments with few really good starts, and few good manoeuvres. We are now back to train hard and working on the lessons learned from this championship, in preparations for the worlds.

Day two of the UK nationals took place in a very unstable weather with wind ranging from 5 to 19 knots and wind shifts of about 35 degrees, not quite the perfect sailing conditions. Today we continued with our game plan of practicing our starts, and we managed to have three really good starts out of four races, so we are pretty happy about that. The racing was anyone's game today, and the results were very mixed across the fleet. We had two good races, one reasonable and one bad race. So pretty good day.

Day one of the UK nationals saw us racing in a very competitive fleet and big breeze. Wind was gusting 29knots and the sea was very choppy and messy. Our main goal for the regatta is practice our starts. It is something that we have been training really hard on in the past month or so as this was one of our biggest problems in previous regattas. We are very happy to say that on that department we have seen a massive improvement, we had really good starts today and even winning a start. So I think it was a good day.

Last sailing session before the English Nationals is behind us, racing starts tomorrow! Wish us luck!

So here we are again, the past month have been really busy and emotional for us. We have competed in the European Championship in Denmark, drove back to our base in the UK and have been working really hard on the lessons learned in the regatta. We are now in our final stage of preparation for the UK national championship starting on Saturday; and we are looking forward to see if we have improved. Saying that, the UK nationals is just another step towards our biggest regatta of the year, the World Championship that will take place in France in late September. More updates to come...
