Our very own taster of a Lake Race at Rutland Sailing Club - Mike Threadgill on the helm and Dave Grundy crewing. Glorious sailing conditions which took us all round Rutland Water. We came in second!!! - not bad for our first race ;)

As the wind and waves increased it is a wet ride for the jib trimmer down to leeward on our Mumm 36 racing yacht. As the spray pounds into his face it is all eyes on the leach of the sail, making minor lots of adjustments to allow the skipper to carve through the waves while keeping the speed on. The Mumm 36 loved the breeze and when she was setup correctly with lots of mast bend in the breeze she could power through most conditions without having to put a reef in the main. Continual minor trim adjustments where needed to keep the boat in the groove and make life easy for the skipper need to be in in tune with the changes to sail the boat fast. The team at bottom up boats loved the Mumm and the fun we had while racing her as hard as we could on strangford lough and beyond.

Volando el Rokit en el Juancarlos... Sólo 0,5L En otros lanzamientos con botellas de 2L tuvimos grandes problemas de estabilidad. El cuerpo estrecho de la botella de 0,5L parece funcionar mucho mejor. También se ha observado una mejor estabilidad de la botella de Fanta frente a la de Cocacola. Quiza debido a que el estrangulamiento evita que el agua trepe por las paredes, o quiza incluso por un efecto coanda (?)... Flying the Rokit on the Juan Carlos I park in Madrid. As previous flights with 2L bottles were highly unstable, we took here a narrower 0,5L Fanta bottle, wich performed much better. The performing has been observed to be better also against 0,5L Coke bottles, which could be due to the water not rising through the walls of the rocket because of the throat of the Fanta bottle, or maybe even (?) due to a coanda effect...
