I once tried to race a Marshall '22 in light winds, got so far back
that I turned on the motor and still I crossed the 'starting line'
after everyone else had left... a crushing experience.


Heh... well, you can't take racing all that seriously. My boat came in last
today, but we had a great time! The wind and tides were perfect. I almost
cooked a Bene 38, but just couldn't quite manage it. She was behind a C&C
32, I was behind the Bene. I was able to just get a beam of her, but
couldn't get to the high side, and then we got cooked. She then smoked the
C&C in the last stretch.
