135LP genoa, Interrupt mainsail.

Very low water levels. Depthsounder showing 4.6 feet in the slip. Not on the bottom, as the boat could move freely. Lines were snug at the bow and tight at the stern, holding the stern up a bit. Glad that I added backing plates on 2019-03-14.

Tacked downwind in the Severn. The 135LP does not fly well wing-n-wing.

Tacked upwind in comany with a black hulled, high apect ratio, chopped off stern, longer waterline boat that should have been two knots or more faster than us. Hung with them for a while, till they decided it was time to move a bit. As fast as 5.6 knots upwind when the boat was well trimmed. In 17 knots apparent at 40 degrees apparent sailed at 5.4, at 30 degrees apparent slowed to 4.8.
