Dave and his crew placed second overall in the postponed Boxing Day Regatta! The wind kept easing during the race so Ron, Ted, and Dave changed their head sail to a bigger and lighter jib. I have a feeling they may have won if they had started out with that sail, because they only trailed the leader by 5 minutes on corrected time with adjusted handicaps. That's about how long it took them to change the sail. Then again, the bigger sail at the beginning of the race would have overpowered them. It's all a compromise and everyone is happy!
Many thanks to Will Heyer (race course) and Catherine Allin (awards) who take our fabulous HTSC photos.
