First sail of the year

Went down to the Sailing Academy for a gathering on club instructors for a chat, a coffee and a sail.
Light winds and sunny.

Well after realizing I had forgotten my dinghy boots I was a little worried about the water temp. Not to worry the feet went numb while rigging the boat. We took an RS Bahia (or what is called) and I found out what Winter Skill Fade is ! Nothing worked on the first 2 tacks then the chap I was sailing with switched to teacher mode and I got it together.

We swapped to an RS Vago and as the winds were light we didn't neet to use the trapize ! I improved my jybing with the spinnaker up.

On the boots "No Worries Mate" I'm hard core me.
