Awesome day of sailing. Again Hamblin’s Pond SSE and SE winds challenge every skipper. But some tight fleet racing.

Our own Reed trimming to race fast. Bring the know…

HA!!! You thought I wasn’t going to post todays activities….
It was warm!
The weather played havoc on Marston’s Mills today as heat and cold were destined to merge.
The predominantly SW winds were gusty in the morning. Very unsettled. Then regained as the breeze moved from SW, around to SSE. Anyone who has raced here sees the downdraft challenges.
Between total dead spots to stiff gusts, to arbitrary downdrafts in close, backdrafts where you can switch tacks and not change course.
It makes skippers life interesting, challenging, frustrating, and bonding. Everyone sails the same conditions. It is not for the faint hearted, it is difficult to sail, but builds thumb control.
