Medium breeze yesterday for day 1 of Miami World Cup. Very shifty, choppy, sometimes full hiking, sometimes not. Tough downwind, my upwinds were pretty good. It was important to look for pressure, and get fully into it before tacking. Also it was important not to de-power the sail so that you could get through the chop. The upwind mode was kind of a heeled, loaded mode of sailing. Now I have to work more on downwind rocking and flattening.
Today is windy, maybe a 16 knots? My goal is to have good starts, go fast, and really be careful not to make any big mistakes that could cause me to throw away the opportunity to get good results on a windy day. Should be fun!
