I took Stiletto out for her first sail yesterday… wind was gusting about 10knts where i was, and there was a short little chop. hard conditions for a footy, but i was pleased with Stiletto’s performance! she pointed well, and cut through the chop nicely. downwind she hunkered down and ran - she had a little problem when she dipped her bow into a big “wave” which spun her around, but she recovered easily. her performance was i am afriad somewhat subtracted from by her skippers skill, but i’m workin’ on it! the only scary part was when the dead seagull threatened to intercept my baby…
