Spectacular racing on a Tuesday. 3-4ft waves, wind of up to 24knts propelled the boat to a verified 18knts across the sound for the last spinnaker leg. The boat performed excellently under tough conditions and took on a lot of water – but as the famous Wes Bemus once said: There is no better bilge pump than a man and a bucket fighting for his life.
It is quite rare to return with three salt water soaked sails but all in all the material held extremely well.
Thanks and praise to the race committee for their time, thair dedication and for setting this amazing course that allowed for the Spinnaker class to create some waves and moisten some underwear. Waterskiing begins at 16knts – we could have easily pulled a wakeboarder!
