Andy and Robin
at the bottom mark. W2945 has succumbed to the
temptation of bringing the sails in early. This stall
the sails and is about the worst trimming mistake one
can make. Better to get the crew to briefly help with
the mainsheet while the helm concentrates only on his
steering at the mark.

Izak Kielmovitch and

Murto with Tom Hankard. ........ |
(l to r) Tom
Erickson, Ted Benedict, Richard Watterson, Chip
Cunningham Some more mains in too far too soon!! ........ |
Not here though! These
mains all look good! - click here for larger image ........ |
Izak and Bill Hemphill
are off to a nice start to their second beat. ........ |
Mike and Tom follow. ........ |
A slow rounding for
Ted who has also pulled his main in way too early and
completely killed wind flow over his main. ........ |
The trick is to get
your crew to take the main and sheet it in as you
round!! |
