Hi all,

Good to see everyone at Frensham (those who still bother with Phantoms   ). God it was shifty and it looks the same in every direction!  At least on our puddle there are isalnd to help work out where you should be going!   

Thanks to all the gang at Frensham for a good day out.  You made us feel very welcome and we'll be back next year - if you'll have us!!

Great to see everyone and thanks for the support.  When the wind turned a bit more southerly in the afternoon you got some of Frenshams shiftiest weather near bouys 7 & 8  .   At least we had some wind as it looked a bit dodgy and calm first thing in the morning .....  Great day and so good to see 18 phantoms on the water  ...  only dissapointment was how much food was left over from the tea ... the Phantom sailors reputation is at risk ..  must try harder next year

Thank you to all out Frensham, an excellent days yachting in some very shifty conditions but the RO set some excellent courses and we had some close racing. The hospitality Frensham showed was second to none and the event extremely well organised.

Well done to the local sailors who came 1,2 who showed us how to sail at Frensham in Race 1 and 3!

Man of the Match however goes to Pro-Lube who won his first Phantom race in Race 2 and showed he will be one to watch this season. He was also leading Race 3 but obviously the pressure of Sloow behind him led both of us to the wrong mark! Bloody students! Tim was also in the top 3 in the third race when his toestrap snapped! Well done Tim.

nope that will be cabbages responsibility these days, I've written them for the last 15 years for various classes. fed up of saying how great Tom was, that hurt...
Anyway the report. Lightweight freak wins first race. Race 2, too much wins for them heavy bloke wins. Race 3 wind eases a little but heavy blokes gift the lightweight freak an easy win. Is that what happened?
