We're on the Water

 

The catboat Kat Boat in good company.

 Two weekends on the water in and we've gotten a lot done. Following our first sail the lazy jacks were found to be not placed right. Taped to the forestay as they were I'm happy I didn't have to reef. But a laundry list of things were completed. And for now a list is what we'll do.

• Moved the lazy jacks up the mast for a better position. 
• Rigged both of the jiffy reefing lines. I use a system partly inspired by Toby Goes Sailing on YouTube.  
• Got all my flag, burgees, pennants and ensigns ready for use. I now have a rear flag staff for when the sail is down and got the bow staff reinstalled. 
• Rigged for a fixed mount VHF radio that will be installed soon. This will allow me to monitor multiple channels while acting as committee boat. 
• Got a really good race in two hours of solid sailing, most of it at the first reef.

 It's another big weekend at the club along with 4th of July goings on so we'll try and get a proper update then.
