[Rhodes22-list] 1st Seaward 26 Sail

Tue Jun 22 20:46:33 EDT 2004

We had a great sail Sunday. While we have had the boat for two weeks at the
slip, the weather hasn't been very cooperative with high winds and rain on
weekends (taken the R22 out in similar conditions, but for a 1st sail on a
new boat...), which is our only time to sail. Wind was apx. 8-10kts, seas
apx. 1ft+. The boat handeled very well, full rudder/half keel, and we were
getting good speed, pacing a 30 footer on the same tack. The main did get
stuck at the top quarter portion going through the lazy jacks and we have to
figure out a working solution; by using the traveller, shifting course, or a
BFH :). Good boat!
