Looks fun, Captain, you had the lake all to yourself. 4:20 try and resist the urge to dump the sheet the moment your hull starts flying. If the Reynolds is anything like my H-18, you should be able to steer your way out of trouble in moderate winds like that. In that instance, if you fell off the wind just a little a bit instead of dumping the sheet and then accidentally turning to port, your hull likely would have come right down. If not, then you dump the sheet (which you should keep uncleated). Does your trampoline have footstraps? You need something to keep you from sliding down. Happy sailing.

Hey Soul,
Instead of opening a new thread every time you share a video of the R21, why don't you put them All in a single thread.
Thanks.

Philip

notice the boat rocking in perfect harmony with the music (around the 3:30 mark)?

that is your boat rocking from your "head banging". a good lesson in just how weight sensitive your boat is

How are those new sails doing? They look nice.
