However, I am also tempted to try the beer technique - how would you recommend holding the beer? in the tiller hand or sheet hand?Keep Reachinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251896778558452358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748587149898746274.post-75471644515137453272014-03-13T08:15:04.368+04:002014-03-13T08:15:04.368+04:00When I was a kid, racing was all about going upwin...When I was a kid, racing was all about going upwind and at the windward mark the adults would open beers and the racing would resume at the bottom mark.

Sometimes it's hard to work out where the current is strongest or weakest, and even if I get that right there is always that trade-off between stronger wind and more favorable current.
