Type of watercraft:
Sail
Took Sandy out for some zesty wind practice. Got a successful quick stop done after a couple of misses. We reefed quite heavily and I think maybe there was not enough sail out to keep steerage at the end. He seemed to be on a good close reach at the end, and was set up properly, but got blown away. He got it the 3rd time though. Also hove to and went to the next reef on the main. Also did some docking at the T-head and then he did a perfect docking in the slip.
Wind was 10-15 NE but lots of extended periods of gusts in the 20s. Beautiful weather though. ≈2hrs
