- Changed some of my lines before the race and my vang primary came undone in the first race. Review knots 101. - New sail needs less cunningham. Couldn't point at all at first. - Did not tape the bailer open and almost capsized twice (once downwind, once upwind) trying to open it. - I suck downwind; I need to learn. - I overstood at least twice. - Jibed too early in ebb tide and almost did not make the mark. - One run I thought I was on starboard and messed up Kurt - Stuck nose in waves downwind and filled up the boat at least three times. - Capsized in a tack - Since I suck at tacking, I tend to sail in bad air too long - Dead by the end of the day
I need to figure out better what is going on with the current. Sunday I was doing better just because I tried to go where Peter was going. Sunday I was happy with my upwind speed; I played cunningham and vang quite a bit when conditions were changing. I'm sure I'm forgetting tons of other mistakes. E
