First race of 2011

We have been sorting the M20 out over the past few weeks, and i'm pretty happy with its current state, Its funny how a few changes here and there can have a compound effect on the performance. Add in more time on the boat in a variety of conditions and the total gain is considerable.

I really didn't spend much time on the M20 in 2010 due to my work with Nacra, but now I can do much more sailing on it, so whenever I get the chance we will have the big beast out there!

Last week we shot a small video for Zwisterleven in preparation for the round Texel race, the boat will be essentially as you see it here in the video, except for a small change which will be revealed just prior to the race... I am sailing a Wildcat at texel, so Herbie and Bulkas will be piloting the weapon. http://www.vimeo.com/22052067

Enjoy the Vid, and keep an eye out for the stealthy black carbon RIB as well, it will be the commentator boat for the upcoming team racing event on Saturday, broadcast live on Sailing Anarchy.
