Well I went sailing/racing today.. it was the first truly official race of the season for the Long Bay Sailing Association..
At its best or should I say worst we had 6 ft seas and 25- 27 knots solid wind.. with gust to 32… this according to the Jeneau 43’s instrements that was racing with us.
It was supposed to be 10 to 15 with gusts to 20….
I took Sea Puppy out single handed. And brought her back after finishing 3rd.
I flew the 100 jib and daycron main with one reef…. earlier in day before it really kicked up this was a very nice combination… I needed the second reef in when it picked up… but was in the middle of race.. 🙁 I finished first race and they called second race… the race committee boat was getting pounded. I wouldn’t have raced second one anyways… that was some exhausting sailing….. I feel like ive been beat with a stick.
