at last some wind again. I am learning to make most of what is here and a good day to work with the 7.6. There is a difference in low end and in power through the holes in the wind. The impact on top speed may be about mast track position vs, leaverage to keep the sail trimmed. Slightly forward a cm or two, you get more leverage to hold it, back you reduce drag a bit, sail trim not quite as good, food for thought for next time.

Sailed in open water around event site and a few reaches at the Hood River Marina, water was a bit choppy at the Marina.
