Good grief, you really don't know a thing about racing, do you? The
bene had a below average day in a handicap race and you're bragging
about it? What a PUTZ!


Sorry, Jeff...the 35s5 BEAT the C&C 99 and that's that. Doug's story
about the last race not counting is a new one for sure. My friends race
and the competition heats up all the way the last race where everyone
throws in the their best effort. You also completely chose to ignore
this...."The Charleston Ocean Racing Association's annual Witches' Brew
regatta


was raced in the harbor Oct. 30. As with its Femme Fatale race in the
spring, CORA requires a female skipper for each boat in the Witches'
Brew. Though Charleston has produced many outstanding female sailors,
as noted often in this column, the big boats seem to almost always have



men at the helm. These two races do a lot to promote women's
participation and demonstrate their skills. Deb Campeau skippered
Hoodoo, a J/109, to first place in the A fleet. Caroline Byrd was at
the helm of the J/24 Footloose and won the B fleet. Kristy Kowert
skippered Andiamo, a Beneteau 35s5, to first place in C, and Judy
Fair-child was at the helm of Absolu, another 35s5 Beneteau, and took
the honors in D fleet."

Why, Jeff? Can't admit that the 35s5 is a fast boat? Hmmmmm?
