Spinnaker run at the finish
Full crew this week, with 9+ on the boat. Relatively light conditions meant we could've done without some of the crew weight, but we still managed decent performance. We had a slightly late start, followed by a clean upwind leg. We had an hourglass in our spinnaker on the next leg, but we got it resolved and still performed decently. We had some close action on the last leg, but both boats in our fleet beat us in the end. Lots of crew weight and a dirty bottom hurt our performance, but a protest between the other two boats should allow us to net a second place finish.
