yesterday after sailing under reefed main and full genoa for most of the morning, we gradually reduced sail as the day unfolded, finally 'hoving to' at 18.00 when "the cook" was just about to "lose

another day rolls by, pretty much the same as the previous few, we're still fairly hard on wind sailing between 50-60 AWA. Similar to Pzazz we reef the headsail at dusk as wind speed increases, but

we have continued on at a pace with good winds from 115/150 T, on a course as close to eastwards as we can over the last 24hrs, typically 060T sometimes 15 degrees either side. We saw a yacht just

We flew the gennaker for most of daylight hours yesterday, but as the wind built we changed to normal full sail set up, trundling along at a fairly steady 7-8kts since 5pm yesterday on a good
