JJ IS ON!!!!

Well today Craig Riss and I got the mighty CST together and in working order for the invitation race of the 2009 JJ Giltinan.

For us, the race was more a shake down sail and working out how everything was going to work out on the boat.

The fleet decided to go with the little rigs in the up and down S/SE cloudy day and overall we had a pretty good race finishing 10th over the line. Our crew work as expected was fantastic and our strategy and tactics was pretty switched on. With Fez and Ris on the boat nothing was a problem and everything went really smooth. We still think we can make the boat go alot faster cause at times during the race it felt really bound up and hard to get going but we've done a little more tweaking to the little rig which should be sweet for tomorrow should the forecast be true.

It's all on tomorrow we have a few more things to fix up on the boat and we will be out there early to make sure we are all sorted for a good clean start and race.

I really want to get up there and mix it up with the top guys and if I steer the boat well and push the tiller HARD ENOUGH in the tacks im sure we can.

Make sure you all come down and out on the spectator ferry to check it all out.
