  • The best picture yet of Dangerous

Good racing conditions tonight on Dangerous with a crew of 4 and enough breeze to really get moving. A decent start to the race, followed by a tactical upwind leg. The second leg evolved and we ended up putting a kite up, and made good progress to the second mark. Twisted off the top of the genoa a bit to manage power and heel as we tackled the third leg back upwind, followed by a close reach along the shoreline of the base. A very fast spinnaker run to a second place finish. The basics are getting very solid on the boat, now it's time for us to focus on nailing the details.
