I got a hold of the instructor at KSC and was able to book a training session for tonight.
Forecast: 12knts gusting to 18
Actual: Started out almost dead (<5knt) but built up to a solid 10-12 knts (constant, very little gusts)
We started out with roll tacks. I tended to be bearing off too much after the tack, and wasn't "slamming" the boat down hard enough coming out of the turn. Will have to work on that. Tacking port to starboard was much smoother than starboard to port tack. Practice
Upwind, I tended to hike on my "ankles" rather than "feet". Practice, excercise
Downwind, I wasn't "yanking" the sheet over enough, and was doing so too soon. Practice
End result -- got lots of tips, not I just have to practice them more.
