Any ideas about why I couldn't point today?
Force 2-3, fairly sharp chop (without working the boat you'd take every 3-4th wave over the bow). Had cunningham so it was just pulling the creases out, outhaul about 1 hand length from boom (maybe a tiny bit tighter). Kicker so that it was just in tension when block to block.
I was thinking maybe my traveller wasn't tight enough (main block was 1.5-2 inches off the deck?)
After 2 good starts it was very disappointing as I just slid down to leeward of the fleet as I couldn't hold my lane off the line
Help me!
