30th Oct 2014
went out for an afternoon sail with Dave nice 15 to 17 knot breeze , had the number 2 jib up , went around the course in Sandringham , out to the Faulkner beacon and back. Still getting a bit of weather helm must figure out how to get the centre of effort further forward. Also getting the sail pocket too far back.
