  • Making the most of the light wind
  • A tidy spinnaker run

SMSA Wednesday Night Series A-4. A great fleet of 16 boats, and both of our usual rivals were out, making for interesting racing. The wind shut off just before a crowded first mark rounding, costing us first place, but we had a great spinnaker run and the wind built nicely for a beating leg to the finish. We managed a solid second place finish. Overall a fun race!
