Do they really call individual races 'heats'?
Somehow that's just the wrong word for a sailboat race.
Maybe she should change it to "go 'round" or "race" or
"round" or even "splash". Heat is for a car race but it
doesn't seem to fit for a sailboat which is never hot.

I did, back then.
And made amends by winning that same championship the next year with
one heat to spare. ;-)

Yep, you always remeber the dunking that cost, or near cost a
champioship win.
I will till the day I die remember my mistake as a crew that cost us
an Oz national champ, when we gybed in 25kt+ and I'd left the dagger
board just an inch or so too high and it caught the vang.
We were far enough ahead, and recovered quickly enough to scramble to
a 3rd, but needed a 2nd to take the champ. Bugger!
I'll be seeing some of those guys for a Xmas beer tonight...It will
come up...again (hangs head in shame) :-(
