well, i played hell getting out of the boat ramp area due to onshore winds & limited area for tacking. once i got out to open waters i was hitting a real fast reach. when i got close to shore and tried to tack i got completely stuck in irons. i regained sail but i could not go upwind at all. i could do reaching runs but that did not allow me to get out of a cove that i was being pushed into. just couldn't seem to go upwind at all. i'm willing to say that some of the problems were operator error. maiden voyage on a newly purchased phantom. maybe shoulda done the first run on a milder day.i have been in weather like that before but in a scorpion.
