In fact the last major event I did was the Dutch Europa cup where we managed to complete only three races in four days, and the wind was so light on the final day that you could not sail upwind and instead I opted to sail to the nearest beach where I got rescued by a RIB. 2010-07-25T19:20:00Z http://www.wileynautical.com/details/blog/761113/Win_some_books.html Do you fancy winning some Wiley Nautical books?  Enter our easy competition. 2010-07-22T11:15:00Z http://www.wileynautical.com/details/blog/705529/Racing_on_the_North_Sea.html Despite the threat of exams a strong British team made it to the Dutch Europa cup, this year raced in the Hague as part of the North Sea Regatta giving strong currents as opposed to the usual no current of Hoorn. 2010-06-02T10:20:00Z http://www.wileynautical.com/details/blog/687911/Introducing_Jon_Emmett_Author_of_Be_Your_Own_Sailing_Coach.html I first really started sailing Lasers (Standard rig – the Radial fleet was very small and non-existent at Qualifiers at this stage) in 1993 and made it into the Youth Squad in 1994. I remember excitedly waiting for my letter from Jim Saltonstall, and it was somewhat of a surprise to get it as I spent most of the windy races upside down being relatively new to the class, but fortunately I had some top three finishes in the lighter races of Youth training. 2010-04-26T13:28:00Z
