Mike,



According to the 'iwindsurf" wind sensor, it was blowing 10-15 mph, avging 11-12 this afternoon.



So I went out and had a tacking session, solo, with another sailor solo on his boat. With jibs.



Weighing in at 155, plus gear, there was barely enough air to trap, perfect conditions to try launching a roll tack from the wire.



In light air, it's anticlimactic - I was making more out of it than called for.



UP feet, whoosh in, pushing the stick, butt hits the hull, pull on trap handle, snap the jib out with forward hand, then the main, then grab and pull in an armload of new working jibsheet, cleat the main, sheet the jib in, straighten ruders, cross the boat. Did get tangled in the sheets once or twice ( or was it thrice? Anyway....) Had fun. Will probably scare myself trying this in heavier air soon.



Sail fast,



Ed
