New main in action
All smiles on the course today
Great breeze tonight. We had the new main up from the weekend’s festivities and wanted to put it to the test on a beercan race. A tidy downwind start led to a decent spinnaker run despite a flawed hoist with the halyard inside the forestay. We doused early and reached to the first mark, followed by a powered-up beat to the second. We crossed several boats and had lots of tight action. Our third leg was a close reach, and we managed to hold off Elan, winning the night and taking the lead in the series.
