This years event is going to be huge! There are over 200 laser standards registered and over 100 laser radials. I have no idea where they are going to put all those boats!! That's just two boat classes... there are heaps of other boats here too. This week they have also been trying out the new women's high performance skiff boats here. Its been really neat to be able to take a look at what might be available to sail in the next quadrennial. I haven't been able to try any of them myself unfortunately, but maybe in the next day or two I might be allowed to!
Last weekend Corinne and I took a break from our training to make a day trip with Kat and some of her friends. I had the honours of being the driver through all the tiny, sketchy mountain roads. We ended up at what is known as the "Grand Canyon of Europe". A Massive Gorge with the most amazing looking water and beautiful cliffs all around. It was certainly worth the drive to see it!
Racing starts this Sunday the 22nd! Check out the link to the right for regatta results and news.
