Not having sailed this boat over 18kts of wind we were not sure what to expect from it. The boat and hardware did fantastic. I had selected our 4th string, yes we have four, main. I did this in case we had any issues, the damage would be limited to 4th string sails and or delivery sails. As it turned out that was the only damage and the age and lack of use and prep of the sale did us in for both races.

The second full batten on the main popped out it’s pocket and forward of the mast. I suppose we could have done a sail change back to the 2nd string main, which we had on board just in case. With crew we had, some green on the outside, and the dark windy weather we opted for shelter and cleared the batten. That made us miss both races for the day.

On the good side, the boat did fantastically well in the wind and waves. It was HUGE confidence builder in the boat. Thanks crew for doing such a great job!

What looked like a wash out due to rain turned into a great day on the water. Light air prevailed but we got in two races for the Fall Series #2.

We had a rough start on the first race, I got the boat to weather for Struthers before the start had to tack away, that made us late to the line. Results

The second race was better we stayed with the pack, dove deep on the last downwind and pickeup on the a few J105 to take a second. Results

Over all we walked with a 3rd for the day.  Way to go crew: David, Chris, Bob, Justin.
