Wind was 12 gusting to 20..perfect for a rainbow!
Century Club: Jason Aulds
D and I ailed Celerity with the Skipper of Fast Company and an old Annapolis Sailing School buddy Isaac.
Great way to spend a day!
What do you get when you put four mostly inexperienced PhD's in J/70 ? Chaos and fun!!!
The RC gave it every chance, but the wind just wouldnt cooperate.
Still- Great evening with great friends!
What a night!! 13 boats started, 7 finished. Our inexperience definitely showed, despite Eric's heroic attempts to keep us competitive. We had to retire before we even finished the first race. Cracked rudder :( which is thankfully still servicable, but we will not be using in high wind conditions until its fixed.
We death-rolled after the first windward mark- right in front of Fast Company, which did a great job of keeping clear. We owe you one Greg!
Love this boat!!! keeps newbie sailors safe!!
The wind forecast WAS SO WRONG....9-12knts turned out to be 3-4. Still had fun though!
Races were cancelled, but Progress and Celerity went out for a wild, wet ride!
