Got a practice day out with some new people including James and Hunter to prep for Gov Cup. Was going well until a bad jibe the wrapped the spinnaker hard and made a bubble up at the top, could not unwind without massive flogging. Took ages to undo and by the time we got it, there was a major tear across the whole top half. :-( Super sad and frustrating, but I guess another learning experience. Jibe SLOW people, thoroughly explain the entire process and assign people specific jobs that are easy to communicate instructions for during the process. We won't have a spinnaker for a good while I think, certainly not for gov cup.
