After i'd recovered from the wedding it was back to the UK for the start of the British comps.. first up Rhosneigr! I ended up 3rd.. Which i was a bit gutted about as i felt i had the moves to win. But i just didn't put it together on the day!

Then it was straight to Ireland.. and i had a shocker in the first heat!! Which meant i was last in the single and would have to rely on the double to make a come back. It was looking good for a while, I made it through 4 heats up in to the battle for 5th... and i felt i was sailing good and on a bit of a roll!! It was light but perfect Starboard tack down the line.. But just as the heat started the wind just shut down!! So with no more competition i got stuck in 5th = for that event and couldn't progress any further!! Gutted was not the word.. as i felt that was me out of the UK title race!
