Well that was fun
Went for a sail today, forecast 15-20knots, nice blue sky. Still had a couple of reefs in from the other day so left them there to see how it was out on the water. Turns out that was a fine idea





Checked after we got back in, sustained 23knots gusting to 30, I think we could have checked the keel joint on several occasions without getting wet. I think I need to get my smallest jib converted to hanks as we were a touch overpowered with the 115% flying. Certainly the highest winds I've had her out in, all kept nicely under control (I thought), let her round up a few times when all letting the main out did was to dunk the end of the boom in the water
Not a BFS for you salty dogs, but was for me.

It's good to see you clean up the reef. That sloppy hanging sail was irritating.

Hah, yeah, it was neat when we started the other day, fell out and I couldn't get forward to clean it up.

Actually I would rate that as a BFS. Looks great.

Heading up in puffs in a good move.

Thanks, they are actually screen grabs from the video camera I got from Santa. Great piece of kit, going to see if I can RainX the cover so the water beads off a bit better.
If I can figure out this video editing software (and buy a new computer, turns out my 2003 vintage laptop isn't up to it) then I will put some clips up too. This mount point gives a really good sensation of speed.
