| Had expected to get a higher top speed with
more wind and was expecting to get it out in Poole Bay. I would have the
outward trip close hauled and the return on a quarter to broad reach.
Seems I had the kickstrap and outhaul too tight and should have loosened them to allow the leech to open up. and should have also raked back the mast. It was a really exhilarating trip, although frustrating where the wind kept heeling the boat over and I couldnt seem to work out how to stop it. |
