First, Happy New Year to everyone, trust it will be all you wish for, and a successful one. Been playing around with my Go Pro on a recent ski trip to Deer Valley. I'm sure Ill get some technique tips from Bear on this one, and yes I'm still in the midst of my Rolling Stones obsession.
On the Moth front work list is complete apart from tightening some bolts on the trailer. Sailing next weekend up in Seattle with Jonathan McKee. Could be the prelude to some thing but blogging about it will have to wait for now till I'm more certain it will happen. The it's full on Mothing till Hawaii or the mid winters, which ever happens first! New years resolutions are made and looking to make the next jump in my Moth sailing. Not going to the Worlds isn't exactly helping the cause, but work has to fit in!
Thursday this week will be a big day. Race 1 of the Aus Nationals. The furor around Bora and Bears wing seems to have died down a bit. Measurement day will be critical but at least now there is a set of guidance for them to be measured to. How we got there is another story, but really highlights the difficulty for a Development Class in managing rapidly advancing technology with a fleet and set of followers that are very connected in cyberspace. Till we get to the AGM, next test is to see how fast they really are.
From my SA post here's my tips for Worlds

Bora, Simon, Nathan. You couldn't really bet against any of them.
