Well... we took the old Mutt out for a race... in 20kts of wind... with sails from 1974...lol... We had to retire from the race, but not for what your thinking... the mast stayed up, the sails held together...nope the dam Goose neck came apart! We were doing good too! Not winning, but doing good. This was the first race ive ever had to retire from, but with my son at the helm and the treat of MORE damage, it was a good idea. So, i am off to Bacon today to see about a replacement. We are also going to tighten up the rig and once over the boat again befor Saturdays race! We logged about 6 miles last night.
Ohh and did i mention we had about a ft of water in the boat? lol..... it was fun!
