Little bit slow at the start into a strong reach out around Fort Carroll and back. Missed the center span on the bridge and were protested and likely disqualified from the race but decided to go for the finish anyway. Condiitons lightened up near the line and we crawled across.

Pursuit race for a little variety. We were a little short on crew so we raced non-spin. Had good upwind legs and steady downwind ones. Beat a couple boats that had spin issues and mostly missed the rain.

RC set a short course due to rainy conditions and an early sunset. Was on the bow by myself but managed clean sets and douses through the whole race. Got a bit damp coming back to the dock but nothing too bad.

Little bit late to the start into two very short w/l legs and a reach to the finish. Had some issues with the spin halyard during the first rounding but was able to do some quick thinking and get it solved with no issue. The held strong through the finish and the boat felt faster than usual.

RC created an interesting start line into a relatively longer course. Very clean crew work across the whole race made everything go smoothly and we enjoyed a great sunset before rounding to the finish.

Got fouled at the start but made up good time on the first upwind leg, had an easy downwind leg into the second lap where the wind turned off, crawled to the finish as the sun was setting.

Fantastic start put us out ahead of the entire fleet on the first upwind leg. Did some fast foredeck work to set up for a gybe set at the first mark and went into the first downwind leg. UV caught up to us about halfway through the leg but another strong rounding and upwind leg kept us out in front of the rest of the fleet. Careful positioning on the last downwind kept our position and we were second across the line. Always great to see the boat perform well. Rafted up to some other boats after the race to enjoy the sunset.
