Rutland – To reef or not

Two days in and there has been a dilemma, ” to reef or not to reef” with the exception of the Thursday night club race that two of us joined in with.

Friday 3 boats cruised over to the café where they were met by the “support crew” for lunch. One boat stopped to reef on the way, another furled the jib while Perry and Isobel went large all the way. The return trip was a challenging beat!

Saturday racing two reefed, one small jib, one big jib, big jib swapped for small after the first race. The water was lumpy and the winds 15 plus gusting 30, Neil’s photos tell the story. Three races were completed, results are yet to be disclosed.
