We had Shiraz out on the river on Saturday, however our jib sail mucked up and wouldn't fully unfurl. In order to ensure we didn't do more damage, we left it wrapped up and just used the main sail for the first time. Suprisingly we could still do up to 4.5kts (so Kristen takes the club record for main sail only), and we learnt how to handle the boat in a different condition. 

The wind died down after a bit, so we used the opportunity to practice man overboard drills. To be honest it was nowhere near as easy as we thought, and while we successfully rescued our dummy person (a fender) it wasn't pretty. I think we need to schedule these activities in more frequently
