Just the five capsizes on Tuesday night whilst trying to nail gybing at speed with the gennaka up. It's just like skiing (well sort of), every capsize was when turning right. The lefts weren't a problem. I used to have exactly the same issues with the dryslope :oops:
This weekend we're on a sort of training/coaching course specific to our class of boat. Absolutely no idea what to expect (appart from rain) but should be a good laugh.
Sounds like fun! Gybing at speed with the gennaka in place with that class of boat takes lots of skill & agility and even more practice to gain that skill. You have to 4 years to reach your peak for the London 2012 games :!: I'm sure you'll be ready to compete "faster, higher, and stronger" :thumbup: :D
And a good laugh is always worth the time invested :wink:
