I posted the following description on the SCAMP discussion board:
———-(Luna Log, entry 7)———–
Tues, June 17, 2014
start at Vanier Park (entrance of Wrong Creek), English Bay
solo
begun loading 10:30 or so
still left residence about 11:20
launched 12:15, tide 2.6m (Pt Atkinson desk), on the ebb, suitable on the minimum to start at this ramp with this trailer setup, automobile tailpipe just touching the h2o, back again wheels about four inches deep, gave Luna a push and she slid ideal off the bunks.
Sunlight arrived out as I released, wind extremely mild from east at initially, but strengthened to perhaps 4-5 knts, and then shifted to west 6-8 knts close to 2pm. In the easterly, I arrived at again and forth in the japanese conclude of the bay, from English Bay Beach to Kitsilano Seaside, not going significantly out into the bay in situation the wind died.
When the wind turned west I was reasonably near to the QR Channel Marker, and I defeat out to Jericho Sailing Centre (JSCA) on just one long tack. Played with outhaul, centreboard, downhaul, sheet, and heading, to obtain best upwind efficiency. Likes to be footed off, you can actually come to feel the decline of speed when you consider to position as higher as the sloops that are close by. Tacked and bore off to a wide get to across the bay, via the freighters, heading for Siwash Rock. A bit a lot more than midway across, I gybed, and headed back to Royal Van YC, gybed once more headed for Next Seashore, gybed and many others, and so forth, etcetera, all the way again.
Saw a really nice canoe yawl “Pilgram’s Wake” (a George Holmes “Eel”) and had a great chat with the fellows on board as we coordinated a few gybes and hardened up and in contrast our pointing and speed. She displaces about 3000 lbs, and Luna overtook her downwind really handily in the circumstances (4-5 knots) with the centreboard up (do not explain to him -) ), but, although the Scamp seemed to issue marginally greater, the Eel’s waterline gain confirmed when we went to weather conditions. She rolled us, mentioned goodbye, and tacked absent.
Arrived again at ramp 6pm, tide 2m, on the flood. By the time I obtained the sail down and almost everything tidied away, the drinking water was significant sufficient for a fairly basic recovery, very perfectly the reverse of the start. A fairly leisurely de-rigging, folding of sail, and many others, and I remaining the start ramp at 7:15.
Arrived home 8-ish, washed car or truck and trailer down, scrubbed the slime off the topsides and waterline (and fenders! pretty thick stuff from the flooding tide at the ramp, I assume), unloaded and opened all the hatches, and parked her in the garage 9 pm.
