Unfortunately the nationals lacked entrants from many clubs, probably due to bad timing near the end of the school year. One of the precious "hytte" weekends where by the small, vastly over priced cabins norwegians own needs a dust and a visit to make their 10 000 USD yearly costs worth it a little bit.
So the team have not had a whip crack by sailing against more experienced fevaeres.
Anyhows, we have silver to complete this year and I will only be there maybe three nights I hope. Gold and rules stuff can await next year, with some items ticked off this year like MOB.
So tuesday, sailing school:
1) theory on twist in the mainsail using the top tell.tale. Crew to match the twist by slipping out the jib a little. When to use more or less twist.
2) the round turn and two halv hitches, why to use it instead of a bowline! How to control a line using it.
3) practical: sail with correct twist. Come along side the rescue boat and stop precisely. Basic safe: heave to on a sharp reach/slack beat to stop, wait and accelerate away.
