| Jerry discusses fine tuning your Typhoon |
Jerry Latell, is an excellent sailor, master sail maker, and owner of Latell Sails. He conducted a session for all Typhoon competitors on getting the most speed and performance out of your boat. About 25 sailors met on the Rappahannock River Yacht Club's porch this afternoon, just after a nice storm swept the really hot air away. Everything from sail rigging to which telltales are most important to fly on your jib during specific parts of the racecourse were discussed.

| Typhoon sailors examine rigging and discuss tips on sail rigging |
After this session there was a break so that we could examine rigging on the boat Jerry's sailing. This was followed by a workshop session on the rules of sailing. We all learned quite a bit, and promise to read our NOR and instructions. Thanks to Jerry for his generosity, both in the classroom and for graciously hosting our Welcome Party tonight.
