C22 Whitby Race Night with Daughter

My daughter Melissa came out the first time to race night. 

Winds were light 6-8 knots from the East no waves, PERFECT intro to sail racing. 
Full racing main and light #1.
Course was set as 7M.

We had 3 boats in our fleet, we were behind the Viking, but in front of the Shark, our competition sailed the wrong course.  This year they shortened the courses for division one.  We took the gun for first across the line in our division.  Even if the others sailed the proper course, we probably would have taken them on corrected time.

I don't get to see this too often; the sails look great!
