Toms balde did have the older sails, and it has been proven a lot that there is a big difference in the old to new sails.
Phillip really did well this weekend sailing the boat in big winds solo. The rest of us on sat went main alone, 2 up and were just about right, but he was solo, trapping downwind and was just behind oley race one. With a little more time on the boat he will figure out the upwind groove then I think he will be hell to deal with.
It was a good weekend to learn more about the boats in higher winds and some chop. I was on the heavier side of the weight (combined weight around 340) and the boat still did great. I love these boats upwind, and downwind I just need more time to figure out where the limits area and where the boat likes to sail.
The sunday race had a reach down the backside of the island, and I learned the boat can take more then I can currently.
The more we learn about these boats the more the bigger cats better watch out.
