I finally made it out on the water yesterday, Winds 10-15kt, gusting 20. Got on plane a couple of times with the spinnaker.
The fleet was two DS's in the Portsmouth fleet, several Lasers, a 420 and a 470. Started with the Vanguard-15 fleet, I counted 4-5.
Was buried at the start, but managed to stay up with the Vanguards and ahead of the Lasers for a good part of the race.
Course was a trapezoid, S-W-R-L-W-L-W-L-W-R-F. The offset course we sailed was short so it was a good exercise for us to set and douse the spin. Both Joe and I were rusty but it flaked off quickly.
GPS plot and a new feature coming hopefully soon - tonight, I hope!
