Windspeeds 7-8 knots gusting to 16 according to NOAA. I arrived expecting less, so I brought the big balanced lug, which I consider to be better saved for light air. It gave a wild ride all afternoon around New Haven harbor until it tore the gear from the foredeck (halyard and downhaul). Jury-rigged a repair and continued on for another hour. This video taken during the more sedate "trimaran tack" since the "proa tack" requires total attention.
