Same boat (Fortunate Sun), instructor (Didier). Zeechan switched to the other boat, Island Dream, leaving the rest of us as crew (John, Kelly, Chris, Anna, and Zeechan). More practice raising the mainsail, tacking, gybing, and heaving to. Ran into a line squal with 30 knot sustained wind and 35 knot gusts! Put in one reef in anticipation, was in the process of putting in 2nd reef when squal hit. Decided to drop the sails and head for safety behind a small island. After squal, found a small tear in leech of mainsail and a damaged block on the traveller. Picked a mooring without gloves and lacerated my fingers. Lesson learnt. Overall, a great, educational sail.
