Here's just a few shots of Dutch and me having a boattalk... In front you see the Flying Fizz, - known for it's fantastic sailing simulation. Behind us you see the VO70. And what's the connection, you might ask? Well, the VO70 is really just a scaled up version of a modern dinghy.Little sisterThe VO70 has the same sails, - main, jib and [...]

I am always impressed to see how much time the Fizzies spend on water with practicing together before the regattas... That alone is reason enough for me to get the motivation every week again to host these races and trying my best with courses, wind se...

The weather was fine, no crashes (the dnf in last race happened 'cause of a RL-call (next time, better turn the telephone off like I do it;)). The sea was a bit crowdy with planes, helicopters, motorboats and other sailboats, and Miwha and me had a bit...

This regatta showed again how the tables can turn. If You watch at the results of each sailor, You see that it was a bit "upside-down" today, and a sailor who comes in last in first race, can still win the whole regatta!:).We had three protests, and I...

After spending so much time last week on Travertine, I had decided to switch to Pslande for this Saturday. The course was short but nice (thanks to Jere who made it). 8 sailors arrived and each of them showed a fantastic show of sailing. In race#1, Aya...

The course for this Saturday was a bit longer, so I'd announced only 2 heats. Finally, the sailors were faster than I'd assumed; we didn't need much time for hearings too. Miwha was so nice to help judging and Maiko kept an eye on the sailors too, so t...

There is so much I could write about this regatta.. I'll try to make it a bit short though.. 11 sailors came and about one thing I had been pretty sure: if no wonder would happen and Yuu wouldn't log in to make the startline longer, there'll be tons ...

I can't say much about this event. I could not host it cause of RL. Nevertheless, I had announced it in hope that the Fizzie-sailors would manage it without me. And: a big WHOOOOT to them! 9 sailors came, no protests, great results and the second overa...

I was happy to see so many Fizzies; new sailors, old sailors, great mixture it was. Being a bit afraid of judging so many boats, I asked Wim (who came for watching) to keep an eye on the fleet too . Thanks a lot Wim, that You did! Heat#1 started a...

This time, we sailed from Pslande line. Wim and Shermont spontanously decided to take part too. After race#1, Wim told me that he had never tried the Fizz in competition mode... in view of that, he really did great! Same with Shermont, who fighted har...

Contrary to my principles, I sailed too again (to my defense: only 2 boats had shown up a few minutes before start, until Claudia finally arrived too. And once I sit in a Fizz, it's hard for me to get up again;)). The cup of coffee on my desk was reall...

Video Copyright©: Bea Woodget/SLSAILINGdotCORace 5のコースはFC2。「風向き、ファーストマークの位置、スタートラインの角度」を考えると風下エンドからのスタートが有利。ところが、わたしはこのスタートが苦手で、練習の時からいまいち。無理をせず、優勝が確定する4位以内を狙いに行く作戦に出ました。案の定、スタートで少し出遅れたものの、第3レグ終了の時点ではLivに次いで2位。まずまずの経過ですが、問題はここから。Galileeのマークを回航してPortで東へ進むラインを選んだのですがどうもSTBで南下するラインの方が早かったようです。第3レグまでの経過よりも、要 [...]

Video Copyright©: Bea Woodget/SLSAILINGdotCORace 3のコースはFC3。ファイナルで一番変化に富んだおもしろいコースです。このRace 3が、わたしの中でのベストレースでした。BGMのベートーベン交響曲第7番もいい感じで盛り上げてくれます:)プレスタートは風下艇を牽制しつつ、風上のjoroとKryshaを最後まで封じ、上１でジャストスタート。第1レグ（Pacific→Haggerty）は、風下のhiiさんに外から絞り込まれないように、角度をつけて加速し [...]
