Video taken on the beat to the weather mark, and before the breeze came up. Not pushing the boat with our borrowed rudder.

Almost to the pound (including the crew who was below, ill).

11.7 knots Overground on the run back against 1.5 to 2 knots of ebb tide watching a J35 and a Henderson 30 broach (broken forestay).

Just learned our new CCI Rudder is ready for shipping. I will take pictures and provide a total dry weight before we install it.

Yea we have used the reefing point on an occasional delivery and either under manned, or at lest undermanned on the rail - works very well. Its nice to have that option in swell.
