Crazy weekends sailing

   Indeed.

TT - I didnt even TRY going upwind on the Grafham day .. Reached off the shore, Reached back etc etc etc

The few times I did try going upwind, It was closer to a close reach with the main almost flogging!

The new sails make a hell of a difference, Downwind was much quicker .. And I got planing much quicker than I would have done with the old kite.

Upwind - Main is much more powerfull ... Hence the heel in that pic   It wasnt like that for the whole beat .. Honest!!
