Successful first day at the 2019 Melges MC Zenda University! The Melges/North Sails Zenda Team is in Eustis, Florida just before the MC Midwinter Championship. Each year, we run a racing clinic for MC sailors who want to get their 2019 MC campaign started right! "Zenda University was what I needed to get more competitive and comfortable on the race course. That two days has given me more confidence in my decision making abilities on the race course. After ZU, I am now racing with my home fleet instead of chasing them from a leg behind. Sailboat racing has just gotten a lot more fun,” – Sally Payne

A rogue wave from a different direction to the general wave train hits my boat while hove to (not sailing) in a storm, 100 miles off the Australian coast on passage from New Caledonia to Brisbane in November 2017. This was during my single-handed sailing circumnavigation in Fathom, my Vancouver 28. The tiller is not lashed completely to leeward as I was experimenting in keeping some way on. Conditions improved enough after 3 days that I was able to start sailing again and safely make landfall. If I had tried to close on the coast in these conditions it could have been a disaster in the shallow water and even bigger breaking waves found in the South Australian Current (another solo sailor was rescued at the time).
