I sailed yesterday at Stevenson - started out light, rigged 5.7m, then the winds came up. I figured this was good practice to sail overpowered for a while....
I have never done a 2-car down-winder and might be interested in that. Depends on conditions around the gorge that day. Another option is Viento to Event Site....

Big difference from yesterday - lots of parking spots and not many sailors. The forecast must have driven the crowds east - plus being a weekday helps. I was...
TOW = time on the water Today I showed up at the Hatchery around noon. It was blowing 15MPH and everyone was sitting around. I rigged the 120L + 7.2m and I...

When I first started gorge sailing, I always preferred the 5.0/5.5 days to the 'nuker' days. Instead of getting kicked around at the Hatch on the sub-4.0...

I had a great day at the Hatch on Friday. After starting on my 5.7m the wind came up and I was able to rig the 4.5m. So nice to be on the smaller sails. As...

Good winds and lots of company at Stevenson today. I ended up fully wound-up on my 4.5m and 75L board. Sure nice to get the little board dusted off - it...
