Crewed on Dangerous for her first major regatta under Dewey’s ownership.

Day 1 was a challenge, with variable conditions and a crew of 3 running the boat. We did our best, but couldn’t quite stay ahead of the curve on the boat.

Day 2 was a significant improvement, with a crew of 5 and steady moderate conditions. Everyone played their positions well and we pushed the boat hard, and we all felt good about our performance despite two last-place finishes.

We started a race on day 3 in light conditions, but had to abandon due to a massive wind shift and coming heavy rain.

All in all a fantastic weekend of really going after it on the boat, and one of the first times I’ve really felt like we have what it takes to make the boat live up to her potential. It’s only up from here.
