Messages to the crew (Part 3)

Hi Richard and the crew, Skipper included of course.

You appear to be leading your class – very good.

May I suggest you try ‘Down-Wind Tacking’ – It is essential with multi-hulls to take advantage of their boat speed – but I have found it also works to advantage with mono-hulls as well, However if you are already making max hull speed running dead before then it will not particularly help, but if not making max hull speed considerable gains improvement in course made good can be made.

Good luck and less of this ‘fishing lark’ – that is all extra Drag!! Wait until you are becalmed for that!

All the best
