Got down to the club and fixed the autohelm socket; will need for Thursday single handed!
Ajax weather buoy was saying 14 knots from the SW with gusts to 18. Decided at the dock to go with the old main with a reef and the light #1. Got out of the harbor and the wind were down and waves up, very lumpy. Dropped the old reefed main and hoisted the racing main. Perfect amount of sail for the conditions.
Course was 3 short. Really like that the race committee has shortened the course for the small boats; it means that we finish about the same time as the rest of the fleet.
We finished 3rd of 5 boats, and probably caught some on corrected time.
