was understays'l and main most of the time...
In Response To: Ready to launch ()

Finally furled the stays'l and was under main alone.

Should have reefed as soon as I left the dock... but I guessed at 12-15 knots and the boat was "flying" along on a beam reach. It was only as I turned up that I realized it was really blowing...

Still, it was a blast, and I was amazed to see the boat just zipping along like that. It was only a 17 mile trip.
