Over the last few weeks I have been sailing with Harry to fine tune our boat handling and to prepare for the race. A new genua was delivered and we now have significant more power in lighter winds. We are still improving our boat speed, adjusting polars and preparing cross over charts. The Round Britain is an excellent race to optimize the boat, to see what she is capable of, and to compare Home of Jazz with the other two VQ32s in the fleet. All three boats are slightly different. We are relatively heavy, Velocity Girl is relatively light (carbon rig and lighter keel) and Vandal is somewhere in between.
As always some new issues have come up. All of a sudden the windinstruments are failing. This means the autopilot can not work properly. I hope to get this sorted out within the next week.
