Last Sunday Adam and I took off for a day on the lake it started out pretty calm. A little to calm so we decided hey why not go for a dip. The lake was a welcoming cool relief from the hot deck and black flies. The water off shore is amazingly blue nothing like the river and inland lakes. You can clearly see the keel and a good bit further down into the lake. We where in about 60 ft of water at the time. Moving along at about 1.2 kts. To fast to swim and keep up but easy enough to hold onto the ladder. I picked up a stern ladder at
Wolfs to install I just haven't got to it yet.
As the day continued on the wind did finally began to fill it. We had a great time flew the #1, Stay sail, and even pulled the spinnaker out. We flew the spinnaker as if it where an asymmetric. I'm not sure if that is legit with this sail or not. I tried to get a hold of the manufacture about this particular AP spinnaker but never heard back from them. (Michael if you are still reading feel free to chime in on this one. =-). Any ways in the light wind it really worked well and with just the two of on board it was way easier to handle with out having to pull the spinnaker pull and deal with topping lifts, down halls.
