  Tom, it was great to see your niece getting stuck in and being such a helpful crew member, especially when furling the genoa with it flapping about in her face.  She's an absolute star!

  "My other boat is an 18 foot skiff." 😂😂 The fact that your niece is on her phone indicates that she is comfortable and feels safe out there with you. Well done.

  Ripping along nicely. Plenty of smiles in those sea miles!

  Hey Tom, given that the boat likes to be fairly flat how about some winglets in the cut-away sections of the topsides you could fair them to hull at the front effectively providing more free-board in the event of the boat getting laid over, but mainly giving your smaller crew members and in the future your son to use that extra purchase to help balance the boat...

  I agree with your analysis on the Geno reaching. With another crew &nbsp;or maybe just next time with your niece I would be jogging about with the pole and figuring out a way to push it out a bit. Especially on such a long downhill. Sometimes it&apos;s just not worth the stress to fly the kite. My 16yr old self is shaking in anger over that statement, but sailing with my wife and son now I have a little more sympathy for my crew than is used to.

  You must be her favourite uncle! That boat looks a hell of a lot better balanced with the mods, bow not burying like it was before. Great drone shots, how it didn&apos;t hit a stay when it went across the boat I&apos;ll never know!
