First Sail Post Mortem

BAD

Boat :

1. Main Jammer can't hold at full power.
2. Sinnaker not yet fitted or tried
3. Centre Board popps up when it feels like it
4. Main Out Haul popped off dropping the boom to trepanning height

Crew :

1. Not ready for big winds
2. Need to know how to depower rig
3. Need to know how to tack up river full of water

GOOD

Boat :

1. Can be sailed under water (bouancy test complete)
2. GREAT FUN
3. Lots to learn

Crew :

1. Stamina enough to sail up river
2. Mad enough
3. We did it !

We had fun but the fun stopped when the boat tipped over in the river mouth. Then it was a slog. I pushed Nat too hard physically and he was not right until he was fed and watered.

Can't wait to do it again.
