Nik and I have been trying our new boat class during fall vacation. We’ve had perfect conditions with 8-10 knots and flat water. Plus two excellent coaches. A great start into the 49er!
Main learnings for me: (1) figuring out the stuff with the trapeze is not easy and (ii) the crew needs to be a machine and I need to become more of a machine myself. For now, we’ll stay light for max performance at the 420 World Sailing Worlds in Oman (selection pending).
