June 2003

Since Spa regatta where we finished 10th and were strugling for speed, we have tested a lot of our equipment and come up with some answers to some of our speed problems, we also have spent some time in weymouth training sorting our new boat out making sure everything is perfect. We are now in Athens training, we have been here for 5 days and we have got another 5 days left. The training has been very productive, we have been doing two 3 hour sessions a day and a gym session, so there has been very little spare time, but we feel we have moved forward with our sailing. Recently we have been struggling with our equipment and that has made us neglect our own technique some what, this training has really got us back on track with us trying to improve ourselves. Athens is still changing quickly the olympic marina is still being built and a tram service is being set up from Athens centre to the marina. Whenever I am here it makes me look forward to the Olympics and desperate to qualify, each time I come back the city is a bit more ready and the games feel closer.

In a week we are going to Brest for our european championships this is the first of 3 big important events this summer, we are looking forward to it and confident we will be ready to challenge at the front. Thank you for your support.
