Wednesday Night Race

First time with my whole crew of 4.  Last week with only two of us onboard, we declared non-spin, and used the genoa on the downwinds.  Worked great.  Came in 4th out of 12 by correcting over 4 boats.  This week, light winds of 7-8 knots, and got squeezed out in the scrum at the start, with Flagfest below me and Winsome Ride above me.  Tacked away for clear air, but better angle and wind would have been to stay on starboard.  Lost ground to all the boats upwind, and while we gained a little on the spinnaker run, not enough to affect the outcome.  Finished 7th out of 13.  Jibes were ok until a catastrophic one about 200 yards from the finish.  Absent that, we would have had a better outcome.
