Well....(sigh...) it was an expensive day...
The first race of the year is in the bag...After having a damaged furling drum befor leaving the dock, we lost a winch handle over the side, exploded ever sail lug on the mainsail and had a cup holder go missing that was mounted on the inside of the cockpit... thankfully the cup was already empty so no rum went to waste... we got 4th place out of 5 boats. not our best performance, but we did manage the boat across the course in 20-30kts of breeze with only 3 crew. Im proud of how everyone handled themselfs our performance during a crisis. Its only money...right?
Smooth seas never made for skilled sailors!
