Last Friday, I had the pleasure to join a fellow SSS racer on Iniscaw. This is a 32 footer with a big spinnaker! Trimming the genoa and the spinnaker is a lot of work...I lack practice and I was fairly slow to get the winch routine down. An Express sail is a pocket handkerchief compared to any other boat...
The learning: if you do single handed, pick boats you are comfortable handling...(and of course that are seaworthy). Probably more important than comfort.
You don't pick your boat for when things go well. You imagine what it is like when they go wrong and how fast or easily you can recover.

It was game night, we were greeted back with cheers from the stadium!
