Here is a (long) video of my 26NM solo sail on my Oday 322 this weekend. Nice wind, but chilly on the lake.

If you are bored, or want to see an O322 in action....

You have the same set up as me. Do you find yourself using the boom vang very often?

I know Mike is selling. Nice boat...but I can almost match his speed now, and I told him my "price per knot" is a lot lower than his:)

I am down at the far southwest end of the lake. South or west winds are generally great, with flat water. Northeast winds suck! That particular day, lake started out pretty flat, but,I also am behind about a 2-mile steel mill sea wall that provides some protection, but then the seas pick up once I get beyond the wall... You can see what I mean in this screenshot.

It was a really challenging (fun) sail.
