Hi Thomas
I thought I would fill you in on the progress of the Australian 310. Boats arriving in December is not a good thing as Christmas and summer holidays fill 3 to 4 working weeks. So things did not happen until late January, early February when rigging was finished and our sails were finally finished. On our first outing we decided to enter the club race and
came home first. The following week we raced again with the same IRC rating
as you listed for the German boat, again with much luck we won our section. The boat has been displayed at the Melbourne boat show with much interest and a lot of comments on just how good the shape is. On the water we get a lot of favorable comments and people
wanting to sail with us. There are 4 350's in the country with a few more on order but as yet
only one 310.
On a technical point with the spinnaker we are doing inside jibes in winds up to 15 knots and doing outside jibes in winds over 15 knots despite our best efforts in the stronger breezes we are finding that the windward spinnaker sheets are ending up under the boat.
Great for cleaning the boat but very frustrating, do you have any suggestions to cure this.
thanks
Margie
PS
We enjoyed your skiing video and envy of all that snow Attached is a photo of us going back to shore after a race with our number 3 head sail.
