I probably only planed 30% of the time but it was great practise at getting going and keeping on the plane..I'm improving..On port tack I managed to catch a few ' waves and get planing going down them and keep on the plane for 300m or a km ( depending on how good the wind was)..The angle wasn't suitable on starboard tack so i didn't get to plane much..
The planing bits were bliss.. I had to work at it but the sail and gear were so light.. A beautiful sunny autumn afternoon, not many boats chopping it up so the water was pretty flat by Coal standards..Finished with a takeaway Indian meal for tea.. A lovely way to say goodbye to daylight saving..
One other guy out on formula gear and he was getting along nicely at times.
