[Rhodes22-list] Does anybody love me?

Sat May 8 09:53:08 EDT 2010

Chris,

Short but wonderful sail yesterday evening, mostly because of the lack of chop.

I frequently get "aha" moments and seem to learn something minor just about every time I go out, but yesterday I had a big lightbulb finally click on.  I know that you can depower the boat by tightening the sails and heading into the wind, but I finally figured out that it's one of the best means to handle gusts.  Poptop, boom and board up with full main and Genoa all the way out to the outer shroud ran across the deck making 3.1 knots close hauled in an 18.7 apparent wind.  Typically I'd be over on my side long before hitting that type of wind with that much sail but my heel was only about 12 degrees.

I'll never reef early again...famous last words.

Lee

I was out from 9 untill 12:30 and the wind was just right.  Don't 
think I will try the Gail force winds this weekend.
