Crewed for Dewey in today's SMSA doublehanded race. A good start, but a jibsheet came untied and it took me a couple minutes to get it figured out. A nice first leg, until the wind dropped out before the first mark. The wind filled in and out throughout the afternoon, and resulted in mostly upwind-ish conditions, other than a major shift and a downwind leg about 2/3 of the way through. Lots of opportunity for Dewey and I to tweak trim settings on the longer course, and I found it to be a great learning opportunity to fine-tune the boat. A beautiful day on the water and a first in an admittedly small non-spin class, plus beating a J/111 boat for boat.
