A race consists of an upwind leg, a downwind leg and mark roundings all of
which require crew work, tactics etc.

Not necessarily. Besides, you forgot that a race has to have a start.

That J29 certainly was in a race! And he lost with Suzanne at the helm and me
trimming. It was easy. Later, after coming back from Port Washington, we took
him downwind. As Loco says, the ratings make such an outcome predictable. Just
imagine what would happen if his Express 30 dared to take the same course as
us!
Anyway...doesn't matter. We like sailing, not racing. But I know it burns Loco
down deep that I have a better boat...and soon...a FAR faster boat as well!

And every post he makes shows his green monster in a rage!

Bwahahahahaha!
