This was a good one. I raced on the Tartan 101 "Starbird". The owner was not able to be on board so Julian Richards was the helmsman for the night. I got to call tactics, fly the chute, and otherwise pitch-in where needed. The crew work has greatly improved as the season has been progressing.. We seemed to have really good boat speed even on the legs that are not normally Starbird's strong suite. Except for picking the wrong end of the line at the start, the tactics worked out well and we once again continued the trend of improving our finish place place with each race.
Despite the dire predictions the day before, it turned out to be a lovely evening on the water. .
