Topic: force eight Posted: 05 Oct 09 at 8:22am |
on saturday it was blowing force eight gusts,
so we decided to take a pico out, we decided that we needed to reef a few mor times ( in the end 5 times) after that the mainsheet got caught so we could depower, a head ache and the drink |

Sailed a Pico in a force eight on a big lake in France- waves big enough to lose sight of the support rib at times when both in troughs. Had full sail out, had to stop as rudder assembly was going to break.
