Race number two of the year, looked like it was going to be a really slow/wet race. Luckily the rain held off and the wind picked up to about 17 knots of wind out of the southeast.
The boat I race on “Gaucho” had an awesome race. We finished well ahead of the other boats in out class, far enough that even with the time we owed the other boats we still got first.
I wish I could take a camara on one of these races, but it’s pretty rough out there and I think my camara would get the crap knocked out of it.
One of the guys uploaded the GPS track from the race, follow the link below this paragraph and you can see the exact route we took on the race. We headed north from Shilshole in a downwind run with the Spinnaker up. One shot, did not even have to jib, round the leeward mark and tacked our way up the eastern shore to the finish. Race Course
