Sailing Morning Sun on the Chesapeake Bay in 16 to 20 plus knots of wind. Morning is a 1976 Westsail 32. Sailed great and was actually pretty quick with only a partial genoa out. As usual on the southern Chesapeake Bay, the US Navy was out. We saw the proud USS Detroit standing out to sea. She is a freedom Class Littoral Combat Ship.

Egad, a glorious Westsail. If I ever sell my 25' Top Hat, I'll buy me a Westsail 32. With a cigar humidor, and a monocle cupboard... Cheerio chaps! Pip pip!

The westsail is definitely a fine boat!

@Worldviewsandthoughts Год назад

Almost 7 knots under jib only ! Wow

@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck Год назад

I know. I was very surprised.

Who says Westsails are slow ? 6 kts on jib alone is alright by me !

@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck 4 года назад

I thought so. And it was partially furled! But Jason says you need about 10 knots to get things going.

Right?!

Impressive backing out of the slip. when i do it, pandemonium ensues.

@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck 3 года назад

very impressive. Her skipper was a licensed captain. In past life, he had skipered a big a big whale watching vessel out of Virginia Beach.

Thanks for having me aboard!

@SvTrilogyDoug Год назад

I have gotten 5 knots with just the staysail out and 8 with the storm jib and 2nd reef on the main.

@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck Год назад

I thought Morning Sun was pretty nimble that day.

@cosmotedeschi3735 4 года назад

when backing out and the wind blowing the opposite direction as video, what do you have to do different ? on the westsail.

@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck 4 года назад

I was a guest on morning sun. but Jason used the starboard stern line as a sping line to pull the stern around as we backed out. if the wind had been from the port side, he may have still used it because he doesn't have much rudder authority when backing the Westsail.
