Planned to go out on the 420s in honor of 4/20, but didn't have an even number of people, so ended up out on a Mercury instead
Century Club: Sage Leone
Took two friends out for their first ever sail on a very windy Friday evening, got nice and wet! let one take the helm, and she did great, despite what the other believes LOL
great day of racing, greater day of rules learning!
after getting headed up at least twice on the start and blatently barging at least once, I finally got the rundown on how NOT to do those things that I know I'm not supposed to do (and why I'm actually not supposed to do them - who knew there's no proper course before a start!), aka don't let people be below you, and wiggle to keep them from wanting to go there.
went out and fought for our lives on a Mercury. max speed 6.5 knots which I promise is fast for these guys
Friday night Merc racing with Madi!
informal Friday night racing on Cape Cod mercuries! not very windy, and three of us on a keel mercury vs. 1-2 in centerboards, so did not do so hot...
Start of the season at Community Boating in Boston on April 1, coincided with a women's sailing day, so headed out with some women sailor friends on a Cape Cod mercury!
