Sailing the Heel

[Two Sails]

I sailed my old boat (Hunter 280) a bit hard from time to time. In this case, I was over-canvassed, but racing another boat home to the marina. Didn’t want to take the time to reef. Good thing the Admiral was not on board!

I asked the other boat to check my bottom paint ;-)

My current boat (1988 O’Day 322 ) stiffens up around 20 degrees.

That is just a plain amazing shot!

That is just a plain amazing shot!

And if you could see my face, I was not at all uncomfortable. I was relaxed and steering with one hand.
