    Classic Sailing on the Old Gaffer Annabel JReview by: Shanty Dave Barnes Weather Very variable. 
 Gale Force 9 on Thursday meant that we had to sail from Hamble to Cowes rather than Yarmouth.
 Good force 3 to 4 on Friday meant a good passage to Yarmouth, followed by a good day's racing with other Pilot Cutters.
 
 Calm force 0 to 2 on Saturday meant patchy, but enjoyable, racing conditions.
 Pleasant force 2 for the retun to Hamble.Holiday Wonderful opportunity to sail and race on an authentic classic sailing vessel. 
 
 Superb company in an 'all muck-in together' environment.
 
 Good prize giving dinner at the Royal Solent Yacht Club.Recommend Isle of Wight to others? Yes
