TT’s 1 & 2 are almost upon us and perhaps it is a good idea if we offer some advice to the skippers. The breeze looks like it will be up on both days so you will need something other than your A plus rig for Saturday and something other than your A rig for Sunday. I’m sure you’ve all spent the first half of this month diligently checking all your rigs, however I’d suggest double checking the smaller ones again and making sure your knots are really tight!

For the Southern skippers remember to bring thermal underwear and your big coat, possibly gloves and a woolly hat.

Forecasts currently suggesting mid to high 20 mph on Saturday and something biblical on Sunday.
