Sailed very high and fast, has a mediocre start in the middle of the line, there were two bad problems, . It took a long period of time to set the barber haulers on the first reach losing several boats. New shoes were very slippery leading to a fall and collission and having to do two turns near the 2nd mark at the finish. Overall however speed was very fast when in the clear and the barber hauler was very fast passing several boats on the reachs. The mast base pin was moved one hole forward for higher wind and we sailed with 1cm of forward puller. The rudder pintals broke at the finish of the race ending the day.

Good practice on windy conditions, bring the crew weight back when big waves come, learn to look waves to determine if move the body back. - notes from ivan when is windy you want to bring the lead cart back to flat the jib. As well as the lead. - downwind when there is side waves i crew needs to go leward. -Crew When boat is going down a wave move weight foward but always look if there is a lot of consecutives waves will need to move foward and back more often. -If the pole doesn’t have a good chackord you need to help with the jib sheet with tension to bring it faster, keep both sheets cleated to prevent failures. -The stay mast line always have to be tight high to the front so the pole can move in and out easy.
