Ups and Downs of Sailboats

July 15, 2009

Yesterday was an excellent day of practice on the Swan 42, Better Than …  We worked on our sail and mast set up and then sailed into the harbor to spar against another Swan.  After about 15 practice starts that would go up to a cross or a lee bow etc. we did one race up to a top mark and then into the harbor.

Dinner was a team effort and was delicious.  A bonus of sailing on an all women’s team is that the food is great.

Tomorrow the racing starts and we are hoping that our strategy of just throwing a brand new team into the regatta last weekend to highlight our weakness immediately and under pressure will pay off and we will move up the fleet in this regatta.
