Do you remember your first time? 

Alan Taylor, our North American Weta Website Guru must have asked me that question 10 times this past weekend. I was like “bro, getting a little personal aren’t we?” 

Let me share a love story.

September 14th, 2020

Testing the new self tacker with twin tiller extensions. Well, I really like it. You can really focus on other tactical decisions such as windshifts and other boats. I know my sheets are still way too long.

Video: 25 knots on Shore Racing - Roger Kitchen

December 11th, 2019

Racing at Torbay Sailing Club in 25 knots on shore which provided some interesting waves to negotiate. All the Weta sailors really enjoyed the challenging conditions. Again the self tacking jib performed flawlessly but the skipper has work to do in the agility department.

Video: Sailing = Turning - Tom Kirkman

December 06th, 2019

Perhaps 50% of my sailing has been on a small (850 acre) municipal lake that often requires a sailor to tack or gybe every 1/2 mile, or less. Most 3 hour sailing sessions require over 100 tacks and gybes.
