Solo sailor drowns in Tauranga


Recommended Posts

The poor guy in Tauranga.

 

I did the Wine race across the strait on Friday solo and despite the great forecast I was clipped in the whole time...far to easy to make a mistake on your own tight/ beam reaching heeled over and lurch straight out over the leeward lifeline. 

 

Really interesting feeling being clipped in up front doing sail change etc, as it is so reassuring. Doesn't change your approach to tasks though just a another level of security.
