Beat every boat in our class outright.

14th overall.

Couldn't help thinking, if we'd been sailing one of those oh-so-fast
Beneteau 35s5's, we would have won overall.

Bwahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahah a

Pictures to follow.

Hey, somebody who posts here has actually been doing some sailing?

Congrats, probably a very competitive field.

Yeah, the big boats are semi-professionally crewed, got guys from NZ and OZ
sailing on them. A small boat could conceivably win overall, under the right
circumstances, but I'm willing to bet it hasn't happened in a very long
time. Finishing 14th overall with the1st in our division feels absolutely
unreal. Thanks, and yeah, it was actually sailing, the boat will end up with
over 500 miles in long distance races this year.
