It's all on tonight for the twilight race. We have Myself Kyle and Stu Pollard filling in for GOOBY AKA "Traitor" hahahha Na he's aight ;). It's going to be spoking this afternoon and the boat should be ready to go if get the wing net fixed up.
If all goes well we should have a good race as it is a handicap race tonight and we have 8 min that will keep us up in the mix of things.
I still have a lot of tweaking actually lets just call it fixing to do on the boat to make it ready for the rock stars to step on board. The first sail with Ferris and Rissol is this wednesday afternoon and hopefully there are a few other teams out that we can line up against to get an idea on our boat speed cause at the moment our big rig is performing pretty ordinary. However we havn't really had any super subs on the boat for a while.
I really want to go well in the JJ and I got a feeling im gonna be learning a fair bit in the coming 2 weeks
