Yea, we were seeing 18-25 knots apparent going uphill at about 5.5-6 knots and running off the wind with the chute at 7.5 knots+ according to the GPS when I dared look away from the action. Boat was hauling the mail. Those short courses with multiple laps make a lot of work for the crew. And, it gets a little sporty when we have to run so deep on those W/L tracks.You guys looked good yesterday! Only ones using a chute. That was a lot of wind!
I wish I had known there was going to be a race. I would have taken my camera!
We put it up and God takes it down!!!
Racing every Sunday at 2 from here until the end of Oct. Camera/American Express, "Don't leave home without it"
I don't have any good pics of the boat with that symmetrical chute flying so if you are so inclined, that would be great. This is it's first year flying.
