Tony and I got together for the Drakes Bay Race. We decided to cancel that plan when the ocean wind topped 40 knots. We felt the practice would be limited to storm conditions. We decided to practice spinnaker jibing. We found that we could fly our asymmetric spinnaker speeding at 9 knots nearly down wind with no pole. This made jibing very easy. Of course it was blowing 15-20. We hope this technique will help us jibe in front of squalls on the way to Hawaii.

We finished up minor final projects such as radio installation, radar reflector, etc. We are ready and excited.

Kathy and I are showing off the Plus Sixteen at Richmond Yacht Club on this Saturday from 1400 to 1600. The club is hosting a party for the 14 Pacific Cup entrant from RYC.

Pacific Cup start is 14 July.
