weather was very sunny and hot, with enough wind, today was the solo cup race so i had to go out and pratice with main and jib and try also to trapeze on my own. at first there wasn't enough wind to trapeze, alan and chris johnson were also out so we spent time heading out to the edge of the bay, because i was faster i did turns to get back behind them, praticing tacking and gybing as i was going. on the way back to the club the wind picked up and i attempted to go out on the wire. i did manage it and held my steering well, bearing in mind i had never trapezed on the helm only as a crew,i got back in and tried it 3 more times. back at the club i picked up john russ and then went back out to pratice with john ready for the cup race next week.
