At the dock, executed training for spinnaker hoist jibe and douse. On the water, - practiced helming upwind and downwind under main only to train helm and mainsail trimmed. - successfully launched kite and performed three jibes - had issues raising headsail in preparation for douse. Doused with jib halfway raised. - cleaned everything up, untangled lines and rehoisted jib without issue. - then jib halyard broke free on our last tack and skyed. - safely motored back into slip - retrieved and stowed halyard

Sustained 20kts of wind, gusting to 26kts

Well did loads of on the dock training. Primarily boat preparation and spinnaker logistics. We tried to head out and put some of it into practice but the weather had other plans. When we arrived near Kemah boardwalk, the fog was so thick you could not even see the bay. With boaters’ horns blasting and sailors hailing security we decided to turn around and call it a day.

Winds were light and shifty today. Had a 90 degree shift end of first race. Completed two races. Finished regatta 4th overall.

Started off under AP but the winds eventually filled in. Got in four races. Finished 3,7,3,5. Would have had a 2 on the second race but we had a foul and needed to do a 360 but had spinnaker up. Absolutely fun day on the bay and a great regatta so far.

It was a spirited day for sure! Winds started around 14knots and built to 20. Just three of us onboard but Encore sailed it no problem. Full Main and the Blade.

It was a great day on the bay. Wind and seas were perfect for teaching. Winds were steady 10-14 knots all afternoon/evening. Crew was great and was able to get two newcomers out on the water.

Wind was very light only about 5 or 6 kn

Winds were solid 10-12 knots. Crew of three. Jim, Barry and I. Took first in class. Solid performance.

Great sail back! Forgot to start tracking before we left the dock. Lots of tacks up the channel and then broad reaching to HYC. Smooth sail. Winds 8-10kn.
