Berkeley Midwinters December 2012

Bad start and it took us forever to get up to speed on the first upwind - after that, things were significantly better with good boat speed and we picked up boats.

Good douses, we did gybe sets and improved from the first to the second. We need to have everyone focused on their one job - this means that accepting that the others may not do a fantastic job because you will not control it.

There was too much talking to the driver, not enough looking at telltales only from the driver standpoint, and too many cooks in the kitchen for tactics.

We have agreed that we need at least one practice in-between each midwinters - all of this is just practice.
