Neil, Peter, Brian, and Me. Winds were from the NW 10 knots, seas about 2 feet.
First time out with the new head sail in any kind of wind. We found that we had to move the jib cars right forward to get the top tell tales flying. We felt slow close hauled; perhaps have to move the jib cars outward more to open the slot.
We need more practice with this new sail. Also, just wait until Neil converts his new mainsail from bolt rope to slugs.
We ended second to Wind Dancer, who sailed a good race.
