MUMM36 Toronto AHMEN Race

Raceboat Zamboni has not been sailed a lot this year.
Besides the Susan Hood and Lake Ontario 300, we did not do any other regattas.
The AHMEN series of fall races are put on by several of the Toronto based clubs.
There were about 30 boats out on this day.

We had a full crew:

• Me
• Kris
• Michael
• Ashley
• Phil
• Rui
• Lisa

Winds were from the NNW 7-9 knots (flat water).

We got out just after 10am for the 11:30am start.
The distance to the course off Mimico was just over 3 miles.

We took the time to hoist and douse a couple of our spinnakers.
Masthead symmetrical "Frankenchute" and masthead A2 "Tiffany".

We were the 5th start, and got off well down the line near the pin on starboard.

Spin action going to Toronto

The course was a figure 8 around Humber Bay.
On the leg toward Toronto, we were the southernmost boat.
The wind just shut off about half a mile to the mark, compressing the fleet to the mark.

NYC mark 2

Wind filled in from the North, so we were the last to get the breeze.
Boats only 100 yards north of us were cooking along, while we were parked.

When we did get the breeze back we rounded to the outside of the pack and pass many boats

We finished 9th of 11 boats in our class.
