Emsalö Runt, all possible mistakes done
We started the race sailing side to side with thunder. We practically enjoyed the whole day of Sunshine and very low wind.
Now we are ready for anything... because:
In Emsalö runt we participated with minimum crew, first mistake. Better to have one more extra as a minimum.
Every single time we set the Gennaker up, we had a big circus with many mistakes.
Almost every turn we made a mistake, whenever some troubles with the sheets.
Luckily we did not have to make too many turns.
What we won in reaching upper wind - we lost double in the fair wind.
Gennaker have no use in the straight fair wind. Spinnaker it should be, but once you use either you can not use the other.
Low wind.
No more comments on the results.
But fun. Yes we definetly had a lot of fun. Enjoyable and nice day. Thankyou Pekka and Pasi!
