First race on a friend's new-to-him Olson 30. I brought along a couple of my friends for their first and second times on a sailboat. Also my first time running foredeck in a race. Nice moderate to heavy wind conditions. The boat isn't set up for a spinnaker yet so we raced nonspin. For the first race we flew a #3 but found ourselves woefully underpowered and didn't have any extra jib sheets to allow us to peel to our heavy #1. Switched for the second and third races and held up much better. Fun racing but a dirty bottom kept us from being competitive. I'm really excited to see what we can do with the boat next season.
