limping along

For those who were curious about my entry into the Europeans and not showing up, its because I had problems with the freight company :( So I have set my sights on the 2010 Moth Worlds in Dubai instead of anything in between.
In the mean time, I am looking for a set of racing foils! My foils have been scratched badly over their time in use, and are no longer in a good racing condition, so if anyone knows of any bladerider foils for sale, then please let me know.
But that isnt the only problem I have at the moment, my deck is cracked about a foot long, my gantry bolt was one of the not stainless steel ones and my rear wingbar attachment to the deck is cracked! But i strongly belive it wasn;t because of my way of sailing or treating the boat, but rather the previous owner and the sun combined :(
So I predict a trip to premier composites, to fix all that and whilst im there I will get my trailer strengthened too.

confused water



So this is what the water flow in Dubai looks like. The red dot labeled 'UMMS' is the sailing club and for the worlds we will be racing all over the sheltered area. This kind of makes it hard to apply tactics, etc.
