I think i may go back at the weekend again as it was so much fun
The capsizes are great to watch and fun to see the jet skis struggling to keep up.

That's one of those slow old mono's Peter the cats just seemed to leap out the water and fly specialy with the wings instead of sails.

Great photo's Peter! My first R/c boat was an Aussie 2 replica @ 1/38 scale... I was still sailing it up until about a month ago...
