Screaming Reaches!

After the bliss of the previous week I was keen to get out again to hopefully lift the preformance of the previous week. Generally by Tuesday the long range weather forecast can provide a reasonably accurate prediction of the winds for the upcoming Sunday's sailing. This week it was not looking great with a return to the conditions of the first race being 15 - 25 knot NE which are very gusty and make conditions at times very demanding particually with novice crews.

Saturday arrived with the weather as predicted and the Mike the Sail Trainer sent out an ominous email in the evening to confirm that Transitional Training was cancelled due to predicted 20 - 30 knot winds.
