Much lighter winds today meant our boat handling improved. We had a better start, very slick tacks and trimmed for speed when reaching. The lighter winds also brought new challenges because we used our larger and more complicated spinnaker. It went reasonably well and I’m sure we can iron out the wrinkles in our next race. Overall, the crew can be pleased with their improvement today. We finished 14th in a fleet of good boats.
We were on the water for more than 6 hours today and tomorrow will be even longer, so I should be in bed now to get a good night’s sleep. More news tomorrow.
