Pursuit race tonight with new sails. Smooth race overall with some good tactical calls led to a 3rd place finish.
Century Club: Michael Nepini
Pushed an aggressive position at the start that didn't quite work out but made up time on the first upwind leg, had a really strong run on the first downwind and contunued it around for the second lap, wind died off as we were coming into the finish and we lost some time.
Started off the evening with a couple boat projects before setting out for a night sail to practice for gov cup. Went out of the Magothy and up towards rock hall before turning around and coming home.
Quick paddle off SMSA to finish out the holiday weekend
Out on Dangerous for a sunset cruise. went out into the bay towards Cove Point then turned around and came back up the river. Got some time on helm and enjoyed watchiing the sunset.
Fast race, worked through some issues on the spin douse but still managed to finish second
Started the day off with going up the mast on Incorrigible to re-tape the spreaders. Went out toward the bridge, rounded a mark, then ran a long downwind leg back towards fort mchenry with a few gybes. Saw a large storm coming up so we doused and headed home.
More wind than expected, good start, little bit of issues on the downwind legs but figured out what happened and were able to get them solved pretty quickly.
Skeleton crew this week but we were able to get in a race after the afternoon storms. Started well, went up to the first mark, rounded and came back down under the jib. Some jib issues worked themselves out on the second upwind leg and we attempted to put the spin up for the last downwind. As we went to hoist, the halyard shackle caught the lifelines and went up without the sail attached. Finished the second downwind under jib and had to go up the mast after the race to retrieve it. Good learning experience for what not to do in the future.
Strong start and run up to the first upwind mark, rounded, set the spin, gybed, and doused successfully. Second leg was a bit slower as the wind fell off but still managed to make good time. Sailed down for a smooth finish.
