P.S. Our Wednesday night series does not start properly for another 2 weeks so do not read anything in the turnout.

Well done Charlie, what were you on?

Sail?

Rake,

Pinholes down on those wire bits.

I set mine up 4 x 4 last night, that's 4 pin holes down and NO 4 on the
rake position.

Lead the 505 (who overstood) a 400 and everyone else, 470's lasers,
supernovas round the first triangle, held onto 3rd until the last lap where
I started messing around trying to find more power, then had my first
kitemare, (it keeps twisting at the foot, probably the result of repetitive
gybing the same way) then screwed the last gybe on the last leg to the
finish and fell over, when I did finally finish dumb and dumberer had
decided I was OCS anyway. (Not that anyone other than me ever gets
called over at our
club)

But all in all I was very pleased with the way it went, but I think I need to
mark kicker positions more clearly so I can see where I am, and I so need
an adjustable outhaul.

Well that's what is says in the manual...!

Graeme.

You are going to get OCS if I can see water beween the back of your boat and the pin. You were 1.5 boats over. There was a double hoot and me standing with arm in air for individual recall. Next time I am taking a flag.

I will give you one thing you were pushed/dragged over by others who then ducked the line seconds before the start.

Other than your capsise and ocs you were probably on to get second place after Doddsey having easily kept up with the 505 and 400 (1 minute in 1 hour race).

Last time out I ran my small rig on the top hole for
exactly that reason.

Its a big sail for some one my (our) size and so far at
least, the rig tension/spreaders seem to work in the same
way on this mast as they would on a conventional stayed
rig. I.e. I want some more response and less power so I
let off the rig tension.

Only one sail so far but it did seem to do what I
wanted... which was to let the middle of the mast bend to
windward and thus let the leach twist off in the puffs
