Racing the MiniCup
Tried racing my MiniCup today against a bunch of Puffins with no
success. The race was held in a series of canals so the wind was extremely fluky. I had trouble tellign when the lateen sail was trimmed properly. My boat had trouble starting in any wind but whn she got going she would do well and start to catch up, however, teh fluky winds meant I stayed well behind. They held the race in the canals because they said there was too much wind but I know my MiniCup would have done far better in higher wind. I think she needs about 12-15 kts to do well. The canals also meant a ridiculous amount of tacking and I had trouble with this not being able to tell when my sail was drawing. This was a really poor showing for the MiniCup when I really think that she should do better. |
