We won! This three-day regatta is historically not our best showing. Spring conditions, i.e. varied, and strong currents make it a tough to be consistent across the eight scheduled races. This year our heavy weather boat speed was good. For a few years we’ve been working to improve how we depower in high winds and still stay fast. This year’s weather was the most perfect three days of sailboat racing any of us can remember. Usually at least one day is dead calm and sweltering or windy, rainy, and cold. Instead we were treated to warm, clear, and breezy (15-20 gusting to 25 most of the time).
Wonderful.
Here’s a great write-up from J Bergquist. Thanks J!
