sail melbourne coaching the skud 18

we had an incident with our new boat and bent the mast. it used to be an aussie boat and we put NZL on the sails i dont think it liked us. so the next day we put a green and yellow rope on the mainsheet to fool the boat into thinking it was still an aussie, the next day no dramas, I think we tricked the boat!

Tim and pauline sailing the new skud to the finish of race 4 no dramas and getting closer to the top boats.

tim and pauline with their 3rd place bibs (which we had to give away after placing 4th and 4th today.

I am coaching at sail melbourne this year. I have been coaching tim in the skud for nearly 2 years now and we as a team with pauline have sailed 10 times. we are really happy with how things are comming along, our boat handling is better than all the boats . we need to work on our down wind angles in the light but things are comming along nicely.

looking forward to some more wind tomora!!
