1 race over the last 3 days of the regatta and only 6 races all up at the Europeans. Couldn't quite get in to a rhythm this regatta so finished up 20th overall. could have been worse but happy with the progress I am making in the light air. Now I head to Germany to pick up the new boat before heading home for a solid training block before the Olympic test event in Rio and the ISAF worlds in Santander Spain.

An extremely hot and long day on the water with no races completed. 4 attempted starts with one getting away but never made it to the top mark. 5 races in two days is looking unlikely so every race counts from here on. Hopefully the wind cooperates tomorrow.

Wednesday 11 June 2014

 I had a solid last day of the qualifying series today with a 9 and 11. The results a super close going in to Gold fleet racing tomorrow. Looking forward to some close and intense racing.

Tuesday 10 June 2014

Second day of qualifying certainly didn't go my way. We only managed one race in a very light and fluky breeze. Finished 31st. Last day of qualifying tomorrow so hopefully some solid breeze comes our way so can go in to finals in a strong position

Monday 9 June 2014

First day of the Europeans brought an solid 6-12 knot breeze. I had a solid start to the regatta with a 7 and a 3 in a very competitive fleet. Similar winds forecast for tomorrow so another day of good racing ahead. 

Sunday 8 June 2014

I have spent the last few days doing some final training out on the water and now spending the day off to get hydrated and rested for the long and hot week ahead. Looking forward to getting in to the racing tomorrow

Wednesday 4 June 2014

Had an up and down down regatta at the pre event for the Europeans which start next week. Finished 8th overall. Great lead up event to get used to the conditions here in Split. Looking forward to a couple of days off before getting in to it.
