Winds were forecast for 12 knots with gusts to the 20s from the NW at race time.
Melissa could not make it, so I recruited Chris who I used to play hockey with who had taken sailing lessons last year the WYC. Chris crewed with us once last year too.
We rigged up a double reef and #2.
Once out on the water, the winds were less, as we didn't see any white caps on the water (so less then 12 knots), so we shook the double reef out.
Single reef was the Perfect amount of sail.
Course was set to 1 medium.
We had 5 boats in division 1.
We had a not so great start on starboard tack mid line, but were in everybody's dirt, so we tacked quickly to port. We went a little too far out and lost ground to the two Sharks and the T-Bird.
We were a little overwhelmed in the puffs; just dumped the mainsheet to keep the boat from rounding up.
We finished in 4th place way behind the Sharks and T-Bird.
