Had a great time racing on one of Annapolis Sailing School's three Tartan 245's, two of which particpated in the evening's race. Annapolis Wednesday racing is quite the scene, and ours was the sixth start, whereby we got to watch the other speedsters head out and see which end was favored, etc. Was with three other members of their Keelboat Club and their Coach. The boat was pretty fast for 24', and very stable. Wind was better than I'd expected for 90 degrees in August on the Chesapeake -- 6-8 knots, which was plenty for us to have a decent upwind leg and nice spin run. We then turned for Annapolis Harbor and had a nice entry favoring the land side as we went in, and didn't pay a price for it. Beat the other Tartan 245 by 8 minutes, and were only 2 minutes behind (on corrected time) the other Annapolis Sailing School boat, a Farr 230, which has a PHRF of something like 126 while ours was 177. Great to race on the boat I'll be getting -- I now just need to get mine, hopefully by Labor Day!
