Well, seven of us were there today – three of us with our hands either thrust deep into our Rooster Robes … or hugging hot mugs of tea!! Gosh it was cold !! Around zero!!

The light was crystal clear and the sky a magical blue. The lake looked amazing and is full to the top.

We had three Proteus and a Viss…. all looking good. One Proteus (very smart) was wearing great looking Red Ant sails which I’d not seen before. We also had a chance to inspect the new mid-ship section print of the Proteus – very clever stuff going on there.

Four of us had Rooster Robes on – like Club uniform 🙂 Rooster will be at the Worlds – I wonder of we can get Rooster to print them with the IOM Worlds logo when the Championships are on…. must ask.

It was scheduled to be a Marblehead Sunday, but the Team GBR chaps won the vote to switch to IOM training instead. Lots of short order racing – brilliant to watch and very close!! We paused for lunch but the top guys went out on the south course for more afternoon training. As the weather warms up, we are expecting more Team GBR skippers to join in.
