[C38] Heel

[William Knowles]

Found out two important things last time out, first when the boat goes past
40 degrees all the stuff on the starboard side fits nicely on the port
side. Took in about one third of the jib flattened her out ( 20 to 25
degrees ) and picked up 2.5 knots upwind, funn ride.
