I thought I'd missed the wind, when I arrived someone else was coming in from an early session saying it was dropping. I rigged a 7.0 and first run out I wobbled all the way across the harbour. I knew I didn't have time to rig a bigger sail (I only had an hour), but luckily I gybed managed to plane back. After a quick sail adjustment, letting a bit of downhaul off, I spent the next hour cruising, comfortably powered. Made 21 out 23 dry gybes, (not all planing out!). All in all a pleasant session!
