IDK.....those pesky Sunfishes are pretty sneaky and full of foul play!I am sure it was my fault not the boat's
WoodOn your point one. What centerboard did the sunfish you were using have? The newer foil boards tack much better and don't stall as easily. Once you get more practice look into learning to roll tack. Much faster than just pushing the rudder over. Keeps the speed of the boat up.
I'll use that technique when running before a strong wind, and need to be on the other tack before landing. The 270° "Chicken Gybe" was formerly termed "Wearing-About" in the days of square sails. (And before signal-charlie's Sunfish arrived on the sailing scene).Sounds like the perfect day! Gybes need to be controlled, that comes with experience, draw the sail in as the boat is turning then let it back out on the new tack. If the sail just whips across, the boat will follow it. For recreational sailing I like the Chicken Gybe, where I tack 270 degrees back through the wind vs gybing Insert random boat photo here...
Right now it is closed again for swimming. We had no problems or saw any HAB sheets of algae. I would probably sail, but the sailing club is cancelling until they get the all clear. We got lucky that they had a couple days open and closed againGlad you enjoyed your sail!
How was the water quality? Any issues with the HAB? I want to go there, but my wife is all in a tizzy because of the warnings and closures.
