Kirkland Brothers 49er Sailing

Jesse's remarks after first clinic with Ramon:
It has been a great week of sailing! We could not have asked for better breeze as the first few days were in 5-12knots, while the final couple days it increased to 12-18knots. Having the guidance of Ramon with every facet of the boat, from technique to rigging definitely gives a sense of reassurance. The sailing has felt so much better since the first days over Christmas... I feel much more comfortable and in tune with the boat. However, having said that, there is still so much improvement to be had. Having a great center of balance is needed for steering whether it is tacking wing to wing, or going screaming fast downwind in waves. Over the last week, I have really noticed the composer and steadiness required by me while steering- any erratic movements on the helm can be an immediate catalyst to mistakes in the boat. But all in all, a great beginning to 49ering.
