[bolger] AF2 launching and sail report
Launched Entropy today in a roaring 25 gusting to 35, two reefs in,
myself and two crew. At one point I'll swear we broke 7 knots, water was
spraying up 3 feet from where the front edge of the trolling motor was
dragging. We were climbing over the bow wave. Pretty awesome.
Broke a bottle of Budweiser over the bow eye <grin>
Seemed to be balanced pretty well with the reef in, though I need to
work on sail shape. Taped polytarp held up fine.
I'll be taking her out tomarrow in lighter wind with more sail, will let
you know.
