mayday nightmare!!!

So I only managed one day sailing over the bank holiday. Due to winning a pot the club did some funky sums on the PY and came up with 1009! To say I was a little shocked at the 33 or drop was an understatement. Every time I have gone out this year it has been at least force 4 as this is when the boat feels great and with no other Farr's in the club why bother. Issue is that when I'm powered up everyone else is over powered and so the boat performs well. When there is less than 15 ings I'm too fat!!! So conclusion. I have got the bike out to shed some pounds. I will tinker with the lowers and see if I can get a bit more stiffness in the mast. Then go sailing in light breeze to try to amend the handicap back a bit. I think I'm not too far of at 1045 but cutting it to 1037 would challenge me by still make it within my grasp. I'll keep you posted.
