Last week sailing I failed to practice what I preached. I wore a very warm coat but forgot to put the warm trousers on. It was a bitterly cold day with an onshore wind. By lunch time I was freezing and was so cold found it hard to concentrate on the racing. In the afternoon I was going through the motions, focussed more on shivering and did not care about the results.
Please don't make the same mistake and follow the advise on Racing an IOM/ On the day. Prepare yourself for the day.
Marbleheads are just the best boats to sail. Fast, tricky to set up well but go like the clappers when you get it right. There is a report on the event on facebook MYA downwind along with a lot of go
We are sailing at one of the best facilities in the country but unfortunately the wind did not get the email and is forecast to blow across the lake all weekend with gusts up to 40 on Saturday and Sun
In the beginning there was a basic PLA filament 3D printing material which proved to be too brittle, broke down in the sunlight and was not strong enough to put up with the rigours of the race course.
