My girlfriend still has to learn how to trap in those kind of conditions and I hope that is the solution to get the Blade going in those circumstances...
Tell her that you don't get shroud/dagger board bruises if the helm buries the bows if you trap! If you do go in, you fly in, not hitting anything, and land gently in the water in front of the boat! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
