This was a very good days sailing
Hoping that next year we can do something bigger and better.  Great to practice and try new stuff.  An excellent reminder of how much fun practising is.  Maybe that is why all the youth classes do so much of it?
What did we learn?
Our best tip was that the National Champions do not release their jib stick until after they have gybed when it is windy - and guess what - it is a better way to do it than the way we were doing it previously.
