2 of our 5 crew for the race, myself and Maddog, where we spent the
next 10 1/2 hours. Would have been nice to have 2-3 more bodies, if
for nothing else but additional rail meat.


Was it one really long tack?

Good account of the race, big fun!


That photo of classes C & D's start makes it look like only 3 boats know
how to start. That boat 6337 (name "GUS XX" or something like that?)
looks like a cool boat... not in a good position though...

Doug,

is a picture of the race chart. They sailed the Mills (blue track)
around Pelee Island ~70 miles and -yes- the first three legs can be on
the same board, but that is only half the race. The sob part is always
the finish inside the bay where tradition requires that the wind that
was beating you up all night - cease - completely.

The boat Gus who? (6337) is an X-yachts 3/4 ton, there are three (maybe
4) of these in the current fleet. They are neat boats and it is fun to
watch them, the S2-7.9s and the Abbott 33s beat up on each other every
Wednesday (Wednesday Night At The Races- WNATR). He may not be in the
best position for his start, but he has a good collection of flags from
this event.

I'm hoping that John brough back some good pictures.
