Well, we took the 23.5 on its maiden sail.
weather
E/SE winds 10-15
waves 2 feet but were bouncing off the breakwall and were getting close to 3 ft with occasional white cap
waves were coming from 10 o’clock and 5 o’clock, picking the boat up
sail
30 minutes beam reach, tack, 30 minutes beam reach back to harbor
thoughts
needed more halyard tension and forestay tension. There seemed to be a lot of sag in the forestay
mainsheet is the throttle, needs to stay in helmsman hand
some questions::
how do we keep the jib from flying up the forestay in a wave?
better yet: can we replace to a roller furler?
also— any seasick remedies for wife and son?
