Trigonometry and Views of Mount Rainier

A short report on the intermediate cat class.

BY JOHN COURTER

We had a little wind on Saturday for the class to try to put into practice the near incoherent mumblings about using trigonometry on apparent wind angles, and some sort of insanity about major versus minor axes of the mast affecting how you want to rotate it. The instructor was constantly asking, "What do you think the telltales are telling you?" But we had an incredible Sunday of double trap weather with views of Mount Rainier.
