New footstraps and... WOO-HOO!!! :-)
Absolutely stonking! Have got to the stage now I¥m so comfortable at speed
I can start going for gybes. Managed to get the back foot out and unhook
without affecting the trim, and carve the 1st half of each gybe. Rig
flipping and the ¥3 left feet¥thing had me swimming each time, but it¥s
a lot further than I¥ve been before.
Even got cocky enough to try that thing where you let go with the front
hand to touch the water to your side... ended up with me nose-down on the
sail, but it¥s been a long time since I felt happy enough to try these new
things.
Totally and utterly brilliant, shame my back has to pay the next day! :-/
