Today I attempted to get out and race in steady 15 kts gusting to 26 kts, but found that at 140lb (when wet), I couldn't even keep the boat upright and didn't even dare put others in danger and attempt to race.
Granted I did have some of the best rides of my life, but the constant wipe-outs were incredible, some where pretty violent, the back flip off the windward rail comes to mind.
So, my question is, am I wasting my time racing a Full Rig or is it about technique and practice? There are smaller people racing fulls, but I just can't seem to make it work. Any advice?
