Great Sail Yesterday

Hi all,
As it was burning hot here is SoCal, I took Wild Wind out for a slog towrds Anacapa Island. Winds were 15-ish with 3-4' waves. Clear and sunny out and I managed 7.2 knots close-hauled. Pretty good for my boat. See the pics.

Cheers, Bill

Nice!
I got in a good sail today. I had enough wind to mess with different ways to shape the sail and feel the effects.
