I made a webshots album to store photos of the boat I'm crewing on...

Some photos of this evening's race have just been added to the previous
Salmon pics.

Good grief, can't you crew on a bigger boat? Sailing a variety of boats is a
great teacher. Tomorrow I get to sail a Cal28 and Sunday i'll be out on the
Tayana 48DS, if she's ready.

For the spinnaker shot what course were you sailing? Why no luff curl?

Cheers

It's probably a stepping stone...

Indeed. Been crewing on Salmon for six weeks. Two of us (maybe three) were
scratch crew at the start of the season and this is our first taste of yacht
sailing after messing about on dinghies. Learning plenty.


I bet you are!

Perhaps, but I'm having a blast on this one and haven't looked.

I'm glad you agree that our spinnaker flying is better than your sorry
effort.

I think the pole was fairly far forward, starboard side. So, almost a dead
run.


Why no luff curl?

It's a Frankenstein photo - the shots were mostly taken over 20 seconds or
so (some later), so maybe there was a bit of curl but I didn't catch it. I
was lying on the foredeck looking straight up, so I'm not sure if any curl
would obvious from that position (I'm 'inside' the sail). The idea was to
show Boobsie that it exists and that we can get it to draw, whereas his
spinny photo only shows existence and no draw.

Right on. :-) I'm getting a little cheapo digicam tomorrow (I borrowed one
for this evening), so there should be more to come. It's a little keyring
jobbie for 15 quid - takes 20 photos.

That looks like a lot of fun. Good job pasting together the spinnaker
pic... hard to tell what's up with it, which means it can't be too bad.
Of course my first suggestion is always to try raising the pole a bit.

2nd by 17 seconds? Pretty good, what rating system do you use?
