Alone in YCC "3h de Versoix"

Today there was no crew for Mic Mac in the YCC regatta, so I went out alone. Haude took this photo (thanks, Haude!):


The wind was doing strange things and the race course was not in the wind axis, so no real tacking practice. But the experence was great! Some heated situations and very good sportsmanship - I have not yet seen so many penalty turns in a YCC regatta! Lessons learnt:
  1. I can hoist the spi quite fast
  2. But beam-reach with the genoa the boat is just as fast (and it is much less hassle)
  3. Speed, stupid!
Thierry was way faster. He was not alone, but this is no excuse. Next training: tomorrow.
