BUSA<br />
The annual BUSA event at Calshot was a hard weekend! Faced with unusually cold temperatures on the first day just staying warm<br />
was hard enough! Due to an inexperienced race team and challenging conditions including a fierce tidal pull along the race course,<br />
CUW struggled but in the end managed to take 5th place. Having trained hard since we hope to return to number 1 in ‘07!<br />
Varsity Match<br />
Dedicated light wind training paid <strong>of</strong>f in spades for the Varsity match – we beat them so convincingly they had to abandon the<br />
last race <strong>of</strong> 6 since there was no way they could recover! We have close ties with the Oxford windsurfers and they didn’t take<br />
the thrashing too badly, especially when we got to the pub.<br />
