Luff looks too slack and leech strangled?

Main just being backwinded a bit - perhaps ease off 1 point and go a little quicker?
Upper telltale on the headsail ought to be streaming better and that crease could do to go.
Other than that - ticketty-boo.

Moral - never post pictures when people are at work and mildly understimulated by their workload!

Of course not. But did you get one of me?

Post by **Silkie** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 6:41 pm

Sadly, no. I took several, or rather I thought I did, but they were not to be found when I got home. Did you get the ones that Paul linked to in another place?

Yes got them thanks. I think Sahona should have some good ones but I'm not sure if he is home yet as I e-mailed him but have not heard from him yet.

Don't suppose they were racing either, think you call that concentration and determination

That's a cracker, although I'm a bit confused by the fact that Pete seems to have his hand curled round the furler foil!

Crew look very focussed while skipper seems very casual as he did thoughout the weekend.

What a fantastic weekend, and how well that Ecume is being sailed. The in-mast reefing on the main seems to be rolled in a wee bit far for the conditions though . . .

(Hope the pi**ing injury is recovering Pete, and thanks for organising the whole thing - PDB so it wuz)

Is there a worse crime than having hands in your pockets at sea, and on the foredeck too.

Well, I believe there might have been a few worse things happen on this particular weekend

You could do to get the airse of your companionway-blocker out on the rail - that way we'd be a bit flatter and convert some of that power into pace.
No need to comment about Eros on the bow - get the weight off the ends seems sufficient.

Combined tiller and boarding ladder - saves space and weight.
Don't you stock them?
