Single Sailing The Big Genoa 06Sep14

I closed out some Summit Co time with an awesome single-handed sail about the lake. It was late AM and I loaded up the sails at dock in light winds so I chose the big yellow & orange 135 genoa from North Sails. After I was underway I headed toward the dam to catch the wind shift and it picked up nicely as typical. It did not get out of hand though I did release pressure on the main a number of times to manage it. In the pics you see even a wing-on-wing downwind configuration which really had me going. On the way back to dock mid-afternoon I was fast enough to pass through a race underway. Colorado is so cool.
