MUMM36 ZAMBONI Last Wednesday Race

Last fall series Wednesday night race.

Phil was out east touring universities for his son.
Ash was tied up in traffic.

We had five of us

• me
• Mike
• Kris
• Dave
• John

John is an old friend that I met at work in like 1990.  He used to helm for me on little Still Time in Newcastle and Whitby, and sailed with my daughter Melissa for a number of years.  John and his wife Stacey now have a condo in downtown Toronto.  Hoping we can make him regular crew.

I got down a little early to repair the top batten on the main that had poked through its pocket:

The screws that hold the plastic batten keepers on either side had come a little loose.

Winds were 11-13 knots from the NW, so full main and #2.

We had a great start near the committee boat.

We didn't fly the chute on the downwind legs because they were short and we were short handed.
We still hit 9.3 knots without it!
