tell tale signs

 

Did someone sell telltales?  Is it time to tack?

 

I don't know if anything sold, mostly because if anyone here picks something up through the alerts, they rarely share their story.

 

Tack or gibe?  Decisions, decisions.

Always laughed at the smaller boats who chose to tack (while going downwind with a non-spinnaker setup) but in 25+ knots of breeze, it probably makes better sense - than wiping out.  

 

Thanks Diz, launch day here is May 7th, with Wednesday night racing beginning on May 11th.  Racing sailboats is probably the most fun you'll ever have at speeds ranging from .001 to 20 mph.  Foiling America's Cup boats approach 50mph and iceboats can conservatively reach 85mph.  If you want faster, you'll need an engine or spend significantly more money.
