Island Time 1,310 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Looks like it might be a bit fresh... maybe I should have stayed in no xtras! Dont have a heavy kite.... if only funds were no object! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 412 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Starting to look like the worst of it may blow through by later in the afternoon Tide starts coming in at 1500hrs so you won’t want to be finishing after 2100hrs in a dying breeze Quote Link to post Share on other sites
formula 2 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 i hear ya island time.i think the bright orange front sail will be out for the beat back from black rocks to durvilles(the boats beautifully balanced with main and storm jib in 35-40).i got the sail built 4 years ago and its got really nice shape to it. we too have not got a small genaker but on list for next year will be a top down furler for genakers to make dropping easier. this year our aim was to see what is needed on boat for 2 handed racing and then spend the next 12months scrimping and saving to hopefully be stronger next year.

Island Time 1,310 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yeah, sail selection is somewhat limited. Roller furled headsail and reefed main to weather, big kite or A2 downwind, or poled out headsail. I dont think it will be enough to justify the storm sails....

waikiore 501 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Look forward to seeing if any of the current young Piedy sailors will hang up a good old fashioned squadron kite after the start and let her go... They all seem to run smaller kites now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Anyone getting hull clean done today at Westhaven? Looking for a contact for a last minute scrub... I'm sure happy teeth is away for the weekend (must be true, a guy on the internet said so) just dive in and do it yourself... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,310 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Already did that - at gulf harbor though. Also put up the storm jib- 1sr time in ages. Stupid phone puts pic sideways! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
