Hi everyone,

These are our first action pics.
I don't know if you can really see the shape of the spi but we tend to loose places going downwind.
These pics are taking with 2/3 beaufort.
Any comments?

Gill

IMHO the spi looks fine, its just collapsing but thats pretty normal. I cant tell from the pictures but was the traveller centered and the mainsheet tight?
Have you tried sailing with the crew on the leeward hull, with the skipper sitting far forward? (Near, or in front of the boards(Depending on your weight)).
