Yes, we did have a bit of a problem with sets and douses. With an
average age of 60+, the oldest being 76, and fewer than 10 race/practice
days together, we were a bit rusty. But we had fun.

Bill. You sure showed us that we needed to get to the right which
we worked on for the second half of that leg. The fact that Wayne,
Shawn and I have been sailing together so long really paid of for us in
terms of quick sets and dowses, which saved our races. We felt the
genoa was the right headsail all day, never considering changing
down. Shawn with two young kids at home and me with Jonathan
"on the dock" made the call to head home after finishing the
second race at 4:00. As it was, we didn't get back to the dock in
Alameda until near dark. Sorry to have to bail on you all.<br>

You can get to the results from the RYC web site. Congratulations
on the first race! We kept our genoa up because we were too
lazy to change it. Since the wind seemed much lighter as you got
closer to the leeward mark/finish line I'm not sure if it made a big
difference overall. The current and wind pattern made a huge
difference in the third race. We rounded the windward mark just a
little behind Jan on Betty Boop, and they rounded the leeward mark way
ahead of us thanks to playing wind and current better than we did.
On the other hand, we played it right by going left on the first windward
leg of the second race and I think rounded first -- a historic
event. <br><br>

up, after the first race, I couldnt compete. Anybody giving an analysis
of the other two? We were thrilled to get third in the first race.<br>
