We started the day with seven boats, ended with just three. But then it was well over 20 knots and out in the bay. Most people seemed to have fun and only one case of gear failure lead to one boat being towed in. 
That's fair dos to me.  The 200 does provide some immediate feedback (!!) if you get it wrong and there is nothing wrong with that.

Hard not to have fun in a 2 in those conditions.

Old habits die hard!

I have got (nice pink) gloves on now, so I don't need the grip. I'm only aware I do it when I watch the video back. Trying not to!

Doesn't look anything like a death trap to me.
Maybe a finger skinner in the making though; after all the pages on the foiling cat incident I wonder why you're taking turns around your hand with the main.
