Summary

Tough weekend with not so good of a finish.
But we did learn a lot.... like tactics by committee just doesn't work.

Great winds on Saturday and Monday with nothing on Sunday except a sunburn.

Our first two races were pretty good except for one screwed up first tack which cost us probably first place, but we did finish in strong 2nd. Then a 3rd. place, not so bad. But then the dreaded DFL in the last race on Saturday, after getting caught on the wrong side of a 40 degree wind shift.

I do have to say that the crew work by all was excellent all weekend. Only some minor mishaps, but all and all the crew did a fantastic job and hung in there. We can win these races. There are some areas that we neeed to improve.

Monday - no real designated tactician so our decisions were usually late and made without authority. Definaltley another area where we need some improvement.

Must practice our starts - we cannot win starting in the 2nd. row of boats. This is my goal..... starting in a good position falls on me to make sure the boat is on the line and in a favorable spot. I will improve on this.
