Yes, I noticed that the degree of hiking in the blog pics is getting more and more lately too. Not sailing today for lack of wind

be interesting to see a shot showing the whole sail, that sheeting angle has the boom well over the quarter |

It's good to see some comments about my sailing technique and not the receeding hairline or the slight bolding (something about grass not growing on a busy runway ) The wind was up in the 20+knts bracket at times this Sunday and so yes lots of kicker on, footing slightly and trying to concentrate on keeping the boat flat. There was also a camera following me so increasing the need to hike - well for short bursts anyway....'pornstar type sailing so i'm told' |

what has happened to the luff of that poor 300 sail? has the halyard slipped or is that what happens when you apply excessive cunningham?

... could it have anything to do with a penchant for wetsuit wearing apres-sail?
