2015 SEASON SO FAR 4TH SEPTEMBER 2015
2015 SEASON SO FAR 4th September 2015
This season has flown by . The Wednesday night sailing finished on the 2nd of September . Where did the summer go . I have two regular crews and this is their 2nd season sailing . Once you get the basics, don't panic when the boat heels over , you can then start building on it . There is a lot to learn and a first season can be difficult . This season we worked on the spinnaker and tacking . In light winds a good roll tack is essential . Get it wrong and the boat stops dead and an old heavy wooden boat is slow to get going again . Other boats will soon pass you . Another thing that happens is your confidence grows in stronger winds , and you become aware of wind direction and the effect it has on the boat . Next season I hope to go back to weekly reports but I got behind this year . I have a repair to sort out as well as I have a leak at the side of the centerboard case . The boat also isn't pointing that well so that is something that needs looking at . My only real expense this season has been a new cover which is performing well .
