No a bad day at the races, still slow, not succeeding jibing no matter the try, still fun was had, found the Kestrel does get up wind just fine, as was advised not a great way to get upwind- hmmph! It did for me today, spun out at in-opportune times on a few great bearaways heading W to 5Mile above the island.- argh. ah well- practice..... Cant wait tfor Feb, hopefully some more water and glassy spreads.
