:: We had our final weekend regatta this weekend. We did
:: very well in 10 knots and below. However the last race
:: was about 14-15 knots.
::
:: We had the jib on and 4 people on board. We had
:: everything tightened down and still could not point and
:: could not make much over 6.5 knots upwind. We had 3
:: J/24s who had their #1 up but was backwinding quite a
:: bit. We could not seem to point as high.
::
:: Downwind we had great legs. Hitting 9 knots no problem!
::
:: I know this seems like light winds for everyone in San
:: Francisco but any pointers would be nice.
