Flying on the 470 Trapeze

Pouring rain, maybe 5 degrees C. AST has gone home, except for me and Zoe. Peter was keen on getting us to try double handed sailing. We had three 470's, eight sailors/coaches, and Maddy for the coach boat. Zoe took her Radial out and Peter borrowed Fionnlagh. Erin and Meri took their 470, Jenn took Phil Round as her crew and I had the good fortune of crewing for Steve. I haven't used a harness since high school in Doug Bell's Laser >>. I haven't run a spinnaker since Revelry in 2002, unless you count Philona's cruising chute. No pole with that. And keel boat spinnakers are different from dinghys.
