Slow First
Race. |
Best race for Vee
Jay was the last race when crew from 3 different boats melded
together. |
Starting line:
Vee Jay didn't get called over early once in eight starts. |
 |
The two Newport
Boats ... Rhapsody (348) and Vee Jay. |
Ron, Nate, Lisa,
Chris, Zack obscured, Michael, and Vic |
 |
"Wicked"
had the only Gal Skipper, an ex J24 addict.
|
Good start
with Vee Jay right place, right time. |
Remind me not to
let the guys stick on the bow numbers after they have started tasting the
Natural Ice. Here are Nate and Zack from J30 Wildcat out of Detroit. With
Garfield at the bow, who weighed in as part of the crew ... |
 |
Try as they could
... they didn't get to the finish line ahead of Vee Jay. |
Pretty good
definition of "Clear Ahead." |
 |
Ron and Garfield
at the bow. |
So OK ... I have
to give them room ... I'll give them room. |
Just a bit of
curl to get us over the line. |
Duh ... That red flag was against Vee Jay
... But interestingly Pale Rider was disqualified from that race for a protest
on them before our hearing. Funny how those things happen. |
Favorite NA2010
Photo of Rhapsody, Blue Meanie and Pale Rider ... with a hint of another band
of a red spinnaker just in back of Blue Meanie. |
Not on Vee
Jay! |
