Light air practice

Today was another day of light air practice. We again worked on light air speed and technique. Little by little, we seem to be figuring out some better ways to sail the boat in the light. Tomorrow, the breeze will play ball a bit more and should allow us to do some practice races against other boats.
On another note, part of this job means that we all have to travel on planes. Some people can travel in planes easier than others. On our boat, we have several grinders that don’t always fit in plane seats very easily. Take a look at this photo of the tight squeeze Newbrook had on the last flight into Sardinia.
