Beautiful with decent sailing. I do need to practice different dousing techniques - muscling it down in autumn breeze gets slow and iffy...

Yep, a rudder bent 90 degrees
Joined some buddies as they sea trialed their boat in very sporty conditions. Downwind was fine but up wind was work against the 20kts of wind, out of the south so long fetch and bug seas against us, olus a ripping current against us as well. The rudder broke, we ran out of gas and ultimately had to get a tow.
Everyone had a blast

Spent most of the time working myself off the bottom during this crazy low tide!

Lonely docks as the rainbows get pulled to end the season
Lots of tacks and jibes, plus just playing the main in very shifty, puffy conditions

What a perfect end to the 2025 ANSS weeknight races. Gorgeous weather and a steady oscillating breeze from the nw.

Was hoping to fly the kite today but in the high winds we chickened out. Next time! Instead we practiced going fast in big puffy breeze.

Very cool gift from the skipper to the crew
Sustained low 20's and gusta over 30 made for blistering speeds on Specific Gravity. What a great race

Absolutely awesome day with 3 other Rainbows, practicing starts and doing drills. I love this club!
