no crew for saturdays yet so will be entertaining.
pics and results here shortly
weather looking cold but good
wind was 20-25knts in race one and after lunch 15 to 20knts +
after getting used to tacking with no jib and a flying start slow progress was made to the windward mark , i started thinking i had started early, but was told i did a perfect start. mike footer was trailing behind after many boat problems
after about an hour i finished ahead of him and his crew bryan to technically win my first ever race
in race 2 the wind seemed stronger and the waves choppier, but the wind chart said otherwise. a few gybes i was almost out of control and losing my tiller stick out the back of the boat didnt help
all in all it was good fun and im glad i raced and finished in one peace. i didnt push hard and thats what got me around safe. 14.8 miles 2H.15m 17mph top speed
