Spooky really.. Since building the boat and launching, I have been unable to gybe. I sort of forgot up until today. Thankfully, I have remembered now so I won’t crash at every corner. I have no idea what I was doing wrong before but today I was suddenly able to foil gybe again.

I had a wee breakage yesterday where the top of my ninja rudder/ tiller tube broke (same place as Jonnie’s did a while back) however it was nothing I couldn’t fix overnight in the oven and with some unidirectional. I also had to sleeve the tiller but that is now rock solid too. Interestingly, I was not that keen to be back in the workshop. I would have much rather been sailing…

Once again the boat held out in the strong winds of yesterday and the marginal stuff of today. The set up appears to be pretty spot on now with the boat riding really high, I mean REALLY high. I’ve stopped pulling the retractable wand at the first sign of trouble so that is helping too. Maybe this had something to do with my gybe failures?
