Weather conditions: Very warm expecting storm activity and building breeze.
Some quick notes and learning points from the crowd.
- Depressure spare fuel tank by depressing the valve before pouring – especially in warm weather
- Anticipating stronger winds – forecast. Also look for white caps (around 16 knots) but also factor in current direction.
- Reducing sail plan – only one boat is equipped to reef (#27) – sail main only, can sail jib only but to make sure the boat is designed to do that – probably keep the backstay with some tension.
- Bring beverages and snacks for the skippers – especially FC Skippers.
