Practice Day 2 with Coach Charlie Enright

9/29/09

Charlie Enright of North Sails RI came to spend the afternoon coaching us on the Farr 30. Most of the time was spent doing laps between two marks between Goat Island and Rose Island. The breeze hovered between 15-20kts for most of the practice which was awesome because we have had no Farr 30 experience in these conditions. The weather allowed us to hammer out a ton of gybes, tacks, sets, and douses in conditions that we were not used to. Charlie, like Tom, emphasized the importance of anticipation and communication. We anticipate sailing with charlie again possibly next week.
