Double Handed

Stephen and I did the first race of the double handed series on saturday in the rain. We were too busy generally to put any oilys on so got soaked. We got a second but were really hampered as the wind died and we were flying the No. 4 headsail; we'd started off with No.4 and a reef.

Spinnaker poles are sooo last year! We successfully flew the kite down the downwind legs without a pole leaving us clear to gybe willy-nilly. It's a good option when short handed maybe....
