Is she human??

Yes, Well done Jenny!!

You pulled some impressive moves on the water yesterday and sailed flawlessly - well from what I could see so far astern of you..

Nice idea David & thank you for organising.

I'm booked in and hopefully Jacob can make it too.

See you there. I presume we can unload & rig on Thursday night @ TBYC as I'll need some muscle to get the boats off..

Excellent event, even if some half boats did get in the way from time to time lol. Well done Mark for today & Jenny for the series. I was going to have a beer when I got home but thought I'd use my prize to demolish a bottle of Pinot instead! After that & an hour in the bath I have no aches...

If Jason's rudders were hard over I don't see what more he could do. You can only luff to head to wind, you can't force a tack. I agree with the above. We need to be moving to be able to steer. I have in the past had boats come from behind (overtaking) & turn upwind into me with a shout of wind...

An overlap is an overlap & for sure reasonable opportunity to move needs to be given, but at the start it's expected to be a manoeuvring zone so you need to plan ahead. A Dart 15 is not a Laser and cannot behave or handle in the same manner, so irrelevant. If you put yourself to windward of comp...
