They undercast. I went out for one run on 5.6 Freek. Came back rigged 4.8 Freek. Was overpowered at times. The rust was real. Been a long time. Worst year since.2008. At the end of the hazey day I was shivering . The evaporation of the Lycra makes 77 F air temp with overcast too cold. Made me feel like it was 57 F.

Rich, 7.5 sail. I haven't been passed like this since Tad from Bloomington sailed the lake. Do you guys remember Tad? He would pull in on a big day with his decked-out van traveling from Hatteras to the Gorge, or Gorge to Hatteras. Rich is fast on his gear.

Spinout. I rigged my sail with 2 cm shorter boom which moved the draft back.



Need my mast tilted towards the nose and not back.



He reefed it down and went mainsail only and had fun.
