We have been back in the UK training with the 49er Squad for the last 3 weeks, We came back from Holland Olympic Classes Regatta slightly disappointed with the out come of the regatta and were looking to do more light wind training and especially focusing on our starting processes as this was a weak area for us.

We have done 2 weeks training in Weymouth with Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes (the 49er Olympic representive) and the rest of the 49er Squad. We have had a range of conditions sailing in and out of Weymouth and Portland harbour but trying to replicate China conditions where possible. The training has gone well and have a new mast and main sail that we are really happy with, We are now on our way to Kiel to sail the Olympic Classes Regatta which is the first of our 4 trial events to re-qualify me for funding and to put matt on 49er ODS funding. We have to finish top 4 ODS boat this is a realistic target for us and we are looking forward to the challenge.
