Two's a Crowd

Out on Dangerous today for the SMSA Double-Handed Race. Cool, cloudy conditions and moderate wind. Given past expereince with the boat Dewey and I started very conservative with the sailplan, with a #3 and a reefed main. Started well and beat up to PR1. Big sea state to start that settled as we rounded the first mark. We held well with the fleet and kept a strong position for the first two legs. As we rounded the second mark the J/70s launched their asyms and took off, but the angle was a little hot for us to put up the kite. We shook out the reef and still made great speed without the kite. Another reach to the last mark, and a sporty beat to the finish. 3/5 in spin fleet, and a great morning on the water.
