Telltales, twist and the small adjustments that add half a knot. Telltales on the jib are the fastest feedback you have. Keep both streaming and the boat will point higher without slowing down.
On the water
The leeward mark was where places were won and lost. Crews that prepared early rounded clean and gained two or three boats.
- Watch both jib telltales
- Prepare early for mark roundings
- Cross shipping lanes at right angles
- Keep a radio watch on channel 16
Good sailing looks boring from the shore. That is the point.
Kai Andersen, Gustline crew
We planned the crossing around the tide and the shipping schedule, then kept a radio watch the whole way.
