Sailing on Winnipesaukee - June 19

Wow, that's the first time I've seen a boat bury it's bow and have the stern go straight up like that.

Amazing.

I have all the wind I need on this lake. I like going fast, but I also enjoy the cruising aspect where I can sail and eat / drink while underway. So I'm not a big racer... I might look into one race for the fun of it this year, but it would be for the fun of it. I've been sailing for years but now that I have my own boat I'm in charge of, I see myself pulling a ton of rookie mistakes. Re-learning has been good for me, and thankfully this lake offers me lots of opportunities to iron out those kinks.

Example: The main sail was great, but next time I'll reef it, and toss up the storm jib and see how that makes the boat go.

Thanks for sharing the video. Makes me want to find a way to bring my 1983 Catalina 25 with me when I move up. Sadly selling it. (Too much $$ to have it hauled up from NJ, too much $$ to store in winter and summer at marinas)

I'll be looking to crew or provide a helping hand for other sailors.
