Yawn-inducing conditions today- flat on the foredeck, helm pretty much tucked into the spinnaker bag. Not so much fun.

F5, peeing down, Tried to try out a Solution in the morning but didn't have the mainsheet rigged right so came in without really getting a fair impression. Went out Byteing in the afternoon and had a great sail. Now at work boo!

Today - little to no wind inland.
Up the front off wind (broad reach -so not by the lee) in a laser. What is doing me most good? Board right down but up front so transom out on the water OR board up so only as near the front as the board allows - transom in the water. It has to be the former - but it feels wrong. |

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

I took the phantom out on Sunday. It did not go well but I'm sure it should have done - big sail, lightweight sailor, not much wind....- but the rig does not look at all balanced.
Back to the drawing board.....  |

Long tiller extension, board up and up round the mast. It is possible, I'm about 6ft and can manage it, just dont fall in or pull the boat on top of you! |

I'm not wearing a trapeze in phantom, I'm wearing a trapeze in a Vandercraft V3000 . Same tech and hull builder as the Vandercraft phants. Not only tough as old boots but proved surprisingly faster than expected in F1/F2 on Sunday (sailed WITHOUT a trapeze, just to confuse the matter). Edited by NickA |

Or.... Get a Solo, sit there in armchair comfort and still finish in front of all the laser sailors! (like I did on Saturday) Much more civilized.
