Nationals Day 3 - getting the boat ready

Mike rigging up the boat

A very interesting knot

We noticed that the boat performance wasn't symmetrical so the rig was a little out of tune (the top boats in the fleet adjust their rig sometimes in-between races, so if this is what it comes down to, we probably have made some progress)

Here Nathan is adjusting the aft lower for better heavy air performance. The rig was pumping quite a bit the day before - probably adjusted for too light air.
