Sunday Sailing, 23/11/14.

For the second week running despite the weather being cold, the water was calm and ideal for sailing.
John warmed us up by supplying a drink of port for everyone to celebrate his 21st birthday.
Phil was back on the water with his club 500 after breaking a prop last week and it performed really well.
I reckon he as fitted a balanced 50mm phosphor bronze racing prop.
Mel fitted a gps system to his Black Jack and did some speed tests, on one run he averaged almost 39mph, which I thought was pretty good, but he was not happy and wanted more speed.
On inspection of the boat he discovered there was a lot of play in the prop shaft and went home to sort it out, so watch this space.
We left the pool around 12-30 in time to watch the Grand Prix.
