Today we completed 3 races in a 5-8 knot seabreeze. I had fantastic boat speed both up and downwind but unfortunately a few little mistakes in the big fleet cost me dearly. I posted a 7 and two 9's which does put me in good stead for the rest of the regatta but it certainly wasn't the start to the regatta I was looking for. The aim for the two races tomorrow is to get rid of the silly mistakes. Looking forward to a little more breeze too.

Not much wind a bit of rain for my last training session before racing starts tomorrow. Was a nice little 45 min sail with the rest of the Aus Sailing Team boys to sharpen up the racing skills. Looking forward to getting underway after all the training in Aus and Europe.

It has been a great week and a half of training here in Palma. Managed to sail in a variety of conditions. Having a day off today to register and measure the boat for the regatta and then will have a short sail tomorrow to sharpen up the skills before we start racing on Monday

I have been in Palma for few days now and have been on the water for two. Its has been great to get back in the boat again plus on the bike. Looking forward to a bit more training before getting in to the regatta.

Today was the first day of the laser state championships. I managed to win 3 out of 3 races today in the 6-12 knot westerly breeze. 3 more races tomorrow in what looks like similar conditions.
