maybe could have gotten it up if the wind was stronger, getting it into wind seemed to give no assist at all. perhaps because i didn't go over due to strong winds but because of mucking around at angles that left no room for newbie error, here's another pic. think the way the bow is up means that it's just after i've rounded into the wind to try and reduce the heel a little

once i get some sort of righting bar sorted i'll try it again but concentrate more on keeping the fastest heading and controlling the heel with minor movements of the sheet

until then i guess i'll just have to stay flat and go faster

hope everybody's seen the "Everbody" video on youtube
