Default Requesting advice on my sailboat racing plan

Richard,

I raced in the Cruising Class for years, finishing as high

as third BUT
I never had as much fun as when I had a novice female

crew. They didn't
give a **** where we finished as long as they where

sailing and
relaxing. There were times when the Tender had to wait for

us to turn a
mark so that they could pick up the buoy.

My advice, for what's it worth is; ENJOY YOURSELF, train

your crew but
be a easy captain to sail with.

Some Downwind tips. In light air, set your Jib & Main wing

on wing;


Isn't W-W the slowest sail set one can make?

Not down wind...

he sailed, under bare poles, to the furthest downwind port
and bought a cheap yacht, where he is currently writing his
7th definitive book.
