Took the Gypsy out for it's first sail
this weekend.
Wow, what fun. We spent about three
hours under sail. Each of the kids
had an hour with me and I had
an hour to myself. I had one joint
separate when we were moving fast on a
beam reach. I also found a couple of
other minor issues to deal with: Luff
tie system too tight (won't slide when
trying to douse the sail). Tiller
extension came undone. Seat
mounts came loose. I told my buddy
and he said "It's not really sailing
if you don't break something."
Did discover that launching off
a beach directly onto a close
hauled course is a pain in
the #$%%##. Next time I'll choose
a beach where I don't have to
launch directly into the wind....
