nat was away with friends for the weekend but the training must continue and luckily rob was again available to help me improve my helming. and i agree it needs improving: my tacks in particular were really bad today, but my steering keeps improving. i also didn’t mind overtaking the two a class upwind – could be worse.
here is another little edit. 18 knots … things are hotting up. it is good to have the opportunity to start practising in increasingly strong breeze, yesterday it topped out over 15 knots. apparently in fremantle in summer it blows 20 knots plus, and i am definitely not ready to handle that. oh well, we still have a year, assuming we train through winter. brrr.
ps: actually almost 20 knots …
