Going to be hard there professional sailors in this race, and we are only a bunch of amitures. I just hope this doesn't become a 24 hour drifting race.

Back.
Fun race, We manage to complete the course in 10 hours, we were expecting 24 hours. We had 20 knots average all way around.
We came in before last in our division and 38 out of 99 boats overall.
Hey thats two spots closer to first than last year.
