Flanders week 2012

Jen and I ready for launch
With grandad still seriously Ill and too much happening at home to allow much travelling or serious training Samantha was delighted to be asked to go to Belgium to participate in the annual Flanders Youth Regatta crewing in a 420 with fellow Scottish sailor Jennifer Abraham.  The weather was brilliant for the trip down but the planned post regatta holiday was terminated by a torrential downpour which flooded out the campsite and had possessions floating away.  In between there was some great sailing in a wide variety of conditions and lots of opportunities to practice boat repair and be reminded of the importance of better preparation next time!  Next planned 420 outing will be the UK Nationals in August provided we can get a new rudder and stock sorted out by then.
