Day 1

There was absolutely no wind! All the coaches were trying to keep us well hydrated and entertained wich wasn't easy in the heat. in the evening there were bouncey castles and slides but best of all there was the Human Table Football. After a brilliant tournament we won!

UKWA Carsinton Water

At Carsington Water on the 19th and 20th of April 2008 there was a UKWA event.

The 1st Day

The T15ers were there so 5.5m and under had to race with them in the shadow of the island.The course was tiny!But I was coming 1st.The race officers had put the up wind buoy in the middle of the wind shadow.So when we were near the upwind buoy we went nowhere but when we came to the downwind buoy we got planning.

The 2nd day

On the second day the wind was just as wild and everyone was out of the wind shadow and onto the bigger couse.We had 1 race per three quarters of an hour and nobody was warm.

Overall it was a brilliant event.

I came !st 4.5m, Max came 2nd 5.5m and George came 2nd 7.8m.
