Out in high winds.

I was out on Sat. with the local club.
Conditions where 10-15 knots with sustained gusts of over 20. The problem I had was with steering. The rudders I am using where designed for my old 18sq for use in the summer on the lake here, where the winds are 0-4 knots. So they are very small. I am going to put some NACRA rudders on it until I build some new ones.

Out last weekend (10.3.2009)

The wind was very light. I am fooling around with mast placement and I had it set to far back. A the boat wanted to do was round up and stall. I am waiting on a new dolphin striker shaft ( I can't find 9/16" X 18 SS threaded rod anywhere) so I'm not going to fuss about the mast position to much, because the ball it sits on might move up a little bit.
