First Sail with Peppermint Patty

Fun/practice sail today on Red Baron using their asymmetric spinnaker, which Dion aptly named Peppermint Patty. Light conditions to start, so we sailed upwind with just a main to get some distance to run the spinnaker across the basin. We sailed towards the opposite shore, and I experimented with how high I could bring the boat with that sail up (pretty high, if it's light enough). We executed a sloppy gybe and then had to do a conventional takedown as the breeze had come up and furling unit wasn't working well. We hoisted the #3 and had a relaxing upwind sail home. Fun to play with the new toy and get some helm experience with an asymmetric kite for the first time.
