The Man With The Hands Speaks
One of the seminal moments of the Giza Challenge for me was watching Graham Wentworth on Ummatched, a Pacer 27, lose his spinnaker and then seeing his crew get it all wrong and force Unmatched to sail around the spinnaker under the boat. The hand signals followed by a swing at the tiller extension by Graham were priceless. Please read Graham's comments with that in mind: Thanks to all for the regatta. My performance was somewhat entertaining and I am considering entering the non spinnaker class from now on. I thought I would share my thoughts about the regatta . - The Giza Challenge is still the best organised event in the country. - The regatta attracts a lot of cruising boats compared to other clubs. - The event gives sailors a lot of hand outs i.e. shirts, meals, entertainment. - The event is covered well i.e. TV and press. - Great to see so many Pacer 27's. - The race officer did a fantastic job. - Good to see so many juniors taking part. - The cruising class allows not only novices to take part, but also the senior sailors. Thanks to all for a great regatta. Well done. Full Story »
