It seems that I'm becoming semi-regular crew for Tommy Birchfield on his Mutineer. Tonight was a real drifter, but we were still able to get two races in. One of Tommy's high school teammates joined us and we worked on optimizing the boat in light air with a third crew member. A couple friends from the Barba Roja crew raced against us on one of the club's 420s and we had some nice friendly competition. Hoping they both continue to race on Thursdays.
