Regards being a "boy's boat", it was sure a workout for me. It was the first race of the season, but still... HOLDING the chute wasn't bad; it was pulling it back in that was the workout :-) The light fluky stuff Saturday was more of a workout than the strong stuff Sunday, because the chute seemd a lot more stable Sunday.
For the wife it really isn't the constant sail trim that get's her, it is the sets and the snuffs. A good set and snuff can pay big at crowded mark roundings especially in a breeze. Almost 100% of the time I'm tugging on the halyard on the set, but it's all her on the snuff. The assist on the set appears to keep us on par with the stronger/younger teams.
