Day One 5th & 3rd Palma ISAF Grade One

Yesterday was a fun day on the water, it was 20+knots with 30knot gusts runnning down the course. We all arrived down the boat park at 9am, I began rigging up with my ipod on. Soon I looked up to see no one else pulling their cover off, not long after I was following suit putting my cover back on my boat and heading upstairs to relax with a coffee. The laser class had decided that we were all going to wait onshore, no flags, no race commitee decisions. We just enjoyed watching the RSX launch and go flying through the air, 470 blasting along the horizon. Soon it was our go, we all launch off the sandblasting beach. I was the last start of the day,...

Arrival into Palma Spain

Hi All, I have arrived into Palma Mallorca after an eventful trip over to Europe. The first part of the trip Melbourne – Singapore ran without a glitch. The plane was late to leave Singapore which meant we missed our timeslot over the top of Afganistan so we had to divert adding an extra 2hrs to our flight. This materialized into a missed flight to Barcelona, missed flight to Palma meaning my bags didn’t make the trip down for three days and a 100 euro change of flight fee to Palma which I have to say was a little painful. The end result is I made it to Palma. The next logistical event was the arrival of my laser from Weymonth. My boat has been stored up...

Krystal finishes 2nd at Clearwater Mid-Winters East 2011

Krystal finished 2nd to Paige Railey (USA) and third was Juan (PUR). We had a great event, with 8 races in four days. It was a tricky event with over 100 radial competitors. The race committee and organisers did a fantastic job of organising over 200 competitors, full rigs + 4.7 sailors. We had a range of light variable winds off the land and from the seabreeze direction. We had an exciting last race with the race committee just sending us off in time before the last possible start time of 2pm. It was sudden death with the black flag being hoisted straight away. I had accumulated a very small buffer from the tight lineup of competitors behind me. It was important for me to just keep...

Training Miami and Fort Lauderdale

Over the past week Krystal has been training down in Miami with current world number one Marit from the Netherlands and coach Mark Little John. After Miami OCR regatta I took a few days out to travel and take some R and R before getting back into it for Fort Lauderdale and Clear water regattas. It was just a short trip to New York, catching up with old sailing friends and being a true tourist. I made sure I ticked all the boxes. Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, Grand Central Station and Central Park. Back in Miami I trainined with Marit, Lisa Ross (CAN) and Anna Tunnicliff (USA). We had a mixture of conditions light and heavy winds. In the afternoon we were...
