The crew of 88 got together for one last go round, and it was a really nice night to bundle up and sail with friends. We didn't do
any match racing, or beat up on the phrf boats, but did do 2 laps pretty much in the dark.
Because I'm me, we rigged up an 6:1 adjustable jib tack to play with the cut clew jib. Turns out not all is lost, we just have to run the tack pretty high when we're running lots of rake. I think the magic number is going to be around 7.5", which seems crazy but the jib actually sets up ok. Compared to the first tryout the sail looks a lot better, before the tighest we could get the leech was about 15deg open!
Andy, Katie and Jacob.
We have one more race on october 8th (!) which is the final day of RYF racing. Hoping to get another shot at racing with the recut jib and we'll see how it flies.
