Nothing can prepare you for starting at the nationals. 20 boats of similar standard all lined up. One slip and you are left with a trail of dirty air.
Details will come later but in summary I have lots more to learn on starting technique getting clear and sailing the boat faster. The report card would say steady B fleet material but the difference to step up is marginal.
More later in the week.
