Bluesheets Racing return to Watergate Bay for the Zapcat National Championship finals. With only a couple of points between Bluesheets Racing and Team Lost Buoys to take the Team Championship, the weekend was looking like one of the tightest contests of the season. |

Edinburgh is approaching and we have sold our boat!
Dan and I have managed to find a buyer with the help of ZCR Ltd to sell our hull to. The boat will fly out to North Carolina USA tomorrow and this has resulted in us buying a new hull.
We picked up the new hull on Friday. Dan and his dad spent all day Saturday stripping and re-building our engine and the boat is finally ready to race. |

We hit the beach early today and the weather was far better than yesterday. The sun was even shining. Dan and I were ready for a good days racing as we had dropped down to Div 2 and so were hoping to collect some decent points.
Surprise Surprise! Our boat was having another day and not performing correctly.

The day started with wet and windy conditions, and despite this locals still arrived to catch the action that ZapCat Racing had brought to Barry Island.
Because of the ever changing weather and tide conditions we found ourselves contending with plenty of chop that came and went.

Dan and I have just arrived at Barry Island ready for another fast, exciting and exhilarating Grand Prix for rounds 9 & 10 of the ZapCat National Championship.
There is a little bit of chop at the moment and to put it into a comparison I would say that the surf condition is very similar to our first Grand Prix held at Bournemouth.

We were racing a new venue that hadn't been raced for 9 years. We were the first class to race this venue from the shore line.
Saturday morning, we hit the dry pits where we had to launch the boat and at a maximum of 6 knots drove around to the wet pits by the track in the Hoe.
The weather was terrible, raining, overcast, we could hardly see where we were going.
