  • A disappointing finish

Dewey was out of town, so he gave me the helm on Dangerous for the last race of the season. We started the race downwind in moderately light conditions, and I couldn't decide how I wanted to strategize, waffling between gybe angles and driving directly to the mark. As a result, I was at the back of the fleet by the upwind mark. I clawed back some space on the upwind leg, but RC shortened course and it was too litle, too late. Nice crew work for the most part, defeated by my bad tactics. 8/8 for an uninspiring end to the Wednesday night season.
