well today i took richard down and decided to go on the contender. it was rigged ok and then had to drag it across the pebbles as it was low tide
the boat seemed to heel the moment i pulled the main in. so i just got the boat moving to get used to it., i tried a tack no problem, i played with the kicker and downhaul. all were ok, the kicker made a difference straight away.
i sailed out to no 3 with a few tacks thrown in. recovery from the shingle was hard and exhausting.
it put me off a bit, i didnt trapeze but that will come eventually. sitting in the correct position as well.
time on the water about 25 mins plus
