Tonights sail
Was Dynamite~ First time I've seen flat water so far behind the transom
turning into a rooster tail about 4-6 foot behind the boat. All I used tonight was the main.... wind 18-25, getting the cunningham adjustments down and working on pointing higher. My rudder before was a joke compared to now. Before the turbulance/slippage was so bad I think thats was causing all my problems, now no turbulance and large enough it's smooth as glass with no cavitation on the trailing edge. Almost messed up big time not having the board up and aft running downwind, and inch or two to much tiller in the wrong direction it would have gotten real ugly,,,,,, pitch pole death roll kinda ugly..it was almost scary.....i loved it! We are suppose to have wind and squalls all weekend! I can't wait. If only I took my spinnaker tonight for that downwind run....... Joe |
