The challenges in sailing ahead

1) taking more responsibility- responsibility in joined up writing and complete scentences MR H

2) going the whole nine yards with 1- getting into detail, bending, measuring, fixing.

3) practice

4) sailing up wind, tacking better

5) sailing upwind in waves

6) sailing in strong winds

7) helming in medium winds and doing well in a fleet

I guess at vestfjrds I would have moved up to about regular half ways based on my skills, the general light winds and so on. I would have maybe moved up to the top third with a really good crew and even won a race with a good boat.

the j109 I could do the gear changes on, which was really rewarding. But I would not have liked being on the helm so much. It would have been a bit humbling and even humiliating. I needed to sail the tasar for another season and do some serious racing in it. moving on to a OD like the 400 or the 505...and I should have just gone and sailed lasers due to no crew! Then also I needed someone in say an Impala to give me 50% stick time and maybe let me buy 50% in.

anyhows, I need to get back in a dinghy and also remember how fast I could be in the snipe in light airs.
