Make up race for last week's storm.
Three boats with Gruntled (C&C 29) and White Out (Viking 28).
Winds were NOTHING at the start, so we postponed until after 7pm.
Winds filled in from the east at maybe 4 knots.
Course was a shortened 7 short.
Winds lightened after a while, but filled in for the finish.
Did the last upwind leg at over 5 knots.
Sailed right into the channel close hauled at close to 5 knots.
I used to tack at 4pm or 8pm (~120 degrees), but I am finding with the new sails, I can tack at 3pm or 9pm (90 degrees). I am now overstanding the tack to the marks and coming in on a close reach instead of close hauled.
Came last, but not too far behind the others.
Corrected time will tell.
