Pictures from race committee boat posted on BCYA’s Facebook page.

We had the worst start of the season but we sailed in clean air and hunted for the 3knot puffs in a very light air race. Fleet went right and sailed under a large cargo ships wind shadow. We went left for clean air. We put up the old spinnaker and headed dead downwind gybing for wind. Stacked the crew at the mast to lift the transom out of the water and we actually were fast for the second week in a row downwind. I think I’m going to order a good spinnaker for running. The all purpose spinnaker ordered last year just doesn’t do it.

My bad start getting squeezed out. Pin favored by a lot and I didn’t want to be the small boat in the wind shadow of all the big boats.
