On the Water and Two Boat Testing

Two weeks ago, we were finally on the water and super pleased with the boat.  After a few minor setbacks, and some great time testing together, I'm getting up to speed, but we still have improvements to be made.  Thanks to Chris Dilling from Grafik Efx for hooking us up with an awesome paint job.

  2. Hello, I love your blog and also awesome pictures. I'd like to add a little bit. PREPARATION- Firstly I will look at boat preparation, sounds simple, but this is the area that you will most likely miss, and rest assured that gear failure will only ever happen when you are in a strong position. Therefore, before you arrive at the open meeting check everything onboard and avoid using those famous last words, “It will last at least one more regatta”. Get it replaced with the best like for like replacement you can afford, it may just save you from that sickening feeling as you watch the mainsail drop down into the bottom of the boat. You get my drift! Good day!!

    1. I think we have a good handle on boat preparation... and the A class doesn't use halyards, they have a ring and hook lock. Learn to sail at Sarasota Youth Sailing! Sign up now for summer camp
