Today while I was sailing Radial class, my coach took some pics for me.

At the begining, it was 3-4m/s true wind, I sailed so slow with the Radial class, the upwind speed couldn't follow the others at all ! And then in downwind, the speed was even more slow that I felt it didn't move on the sea. I ended with the last one at the first two races, and I couldn't bear it any more! So I changed to sail Laser Standard. After the starding, I was just like flying on the sea as the speed was much faster than Laser Radial, I tried to flollow the wind shift, when we reached the windward mark, I was the first! How exciting! Later I can also surfing well by catching good waves in downwind. The next two races I run a 1st and a 2nd. 

Nearly three hours passed, the wind velocity became more and more strong, it picked up to 7-8m/s. I changed back to sail Radial for the last race. In medium or strong wind, the Radial's speed is nearly as fast as Laser Standard and Europe class, at least the Radial won't be slow than the Europe. While on a beat to windward after the last race's starding signal, I could sailing with my good feelings. The only problem is that I couldn't control the boat very well as the wind was a little too big for me. Obviously, I should progress my physical power.

Keep going on! Then I can do a good job in the World Youth Championships next month.
