Wild Oats in short handed. -
Scallywag should not have lost the crew overboard, but yes the recovery was good and somewhat lucky too.
-
On a 24 Ben as well, interesting

yip #1 good times on WO. Ran full main and J3 all race, loved the downhill, and went ok back up hill too. Had a couple of crew that hadn't been out for a long time (one sailor hadn't been out since we dropped the rig over a year ago), and we all enjoyed ourselves. Sad to see the damage and some hurt bodies on other boats, but all in all looked like people coped pretty well.

yer sorry, I ordered 20 kts. They had a special on as everyone else had been ordering only 10 knots lately.

Just sailing.... Single-handed race this season

We are in, just entered and costumes are ready to go. Wind has been ordered and excitement levels rising.

Half that speed is really fast!

True, me tackle is a bit bigger ("Wellington" keel) and the boat is heavy (Volvo 9hp ballast), but I don't have any issues with the ST compared to the pin head that was on there when I bought her. Upwind, in moderate conditions I don't have any greater heel - so long as the leech is left open to get the twist required in the upper 1/3. Just need more outhaul and a bit less vang, and the sail really looks after itself. I would still reef at the same times once winds are over moderate. What I do have is a small 'flattening reef' at 150mm (or 200?), that I use solo over about 15knts, that

I love my ST main... and very strong sail too. Wouldn't go back to pin head. Same sailmaker as Changed, just as happy.
