On Sunday, Hayley, Derek, Rod, Jennifer & Greg came out for a sail. It was a warm day in the city but once we made it past the Leslie St. Spit, the wind really picked up, and we had a brisk sail out to Humber Bay and back, hitting a top speed of over 7 kts.
I think we have to work on setting our sails more appropriately when the wind gets into the high teens, as I get uncomfortable when the boat heels excessively, and it's difficult to steer with too much pressure on the sails. We also start to take on water in the cockpit when the discharge from the scupper drain is underwater due to the heel, because the hoses are plumbed backwards. That's one of those bothersome things we've talked about fixing since we got the boat. Maybe this year...
