Got down to the boat a little early and got the boat rigged up. Battery was dead, so no autohelm; I rigged up a tiller tamer for the race.
Winds were 12-16 knots with from the SSW. I went out with the old main with a reef and the heavy #1. Course was shortened 4 short (triangle).
A little too much sail going upwind, but the winds were supposed to drop, and you can use the extra sail area on the reaching/downwind leg.
We had 5 boats:
- Still Time
- Berserk
- Iris
- Cheeky Monkey
- Justintime
Everyone pulled ahead of me on the reaching/downwind legs. Need to do something different!
Came last, but not too far behind the fleet. On a 40 minute race, everyone crossed the line within four mintues. The magic of PHRF will tell.
