  • At the helm

Took my turn driving Elysium this week. Three of us on the boat, so just enough to go and we ran non-spin. Light to moderate conditions meant a realitively short w/l course today. Got a decent start but a little low on course, and made an iffy tactical call to put in a tack to improve our position. Third in class at the windward mark, but we ran wing on wing and caught one boat coming back down. Interesting to get a feel for the helm of the J/33 and get some more experience skippering.
