Krystal finishes 2nd in ISAF Grade One, Kiel Germany. Kieler Woche Regatta in Germany was a tough event, with 15+knots in shifty, pre-frontal conditions.

I jumped on the breaks, and pulled over on the A1 Motorway ...

Overall I am happy with my finals performance as I improved through out the racing. A few key decisions around marks and some more time in the gym is required to get up to scratch. On the third day of racing, I had an incident with an Argentinean on a layline and head butted the deck, the next day i went out and did it again in exactly the same spot. I had a massive egg on my head and a black eye. The next day I went out with tape around my head, very fashionably i looked...
