Looks like a fun day.

nice video.! your reefing life points are a litte bit too tight, it will stress your mainsail cloth.... instead of a not in your clew , you can pass your line through an tie it to the boom , your clew will be closer to the boom . have fair winds !

[@RustyKnorr]

No, NEVER tie reef lines to the boom if you have a loose footed main. Always tie the cringle around the bunt of the sail, or just leave it loose until the second or third reef. More sails destroyed by tying reefs around the boom than any other way!

@@vicmeyer7340 thanks, ill explore more on reefing now you mention it, i simply tie everything off tight... So thanks 👍

[@kopeducati]

both sails need depowering... more tension on backstay to avoid front sag. ....way more tension on the main halyard...

[@VikoS21Rudyard]

@@kopeducati why?

[@kopeducati]

@@VikoS21Rudyard main : more tension on halyard will put the deepest point of the sail more forward. decreasing power.. same with tightining front stay by pulling backstay .. google North Sails KZbin instructions

Funny how that other boat wasn't reaching as hard. Probably don't like heeling? But if you haven't heeled, you haven't sailed, that is my opinion.

@@TheEvertw the other boat had 6 people on board (3 grown adults at least, im not sure on the rest) I was on my own and i think thats what kept his boat a lot more upright, but yes, i enjoy heeling and finding my limit in different conditions all the time
