The Lord Strathcona

With light west winds forecasted, we chose to use the 155 with the spinnaker. 

The crew was Scott, Sylvie, Laura and Maud.  And me.

The course was to AD 28, windmill point, Bea B, a mini sausage on the downwind leg back and then zig-zag channel and finish.

We had lots of problems with the current making the tack at A38 S.  It took 3 tries.

The race lasted from 10 AM till about 4 PM - almost six hours

The spinnaker was good to have, but the sock was not so popular.  155 was over sailed and blown out of shape.  We switched to the new North 135 for the zig-zag leg.










We came in third. Ghost Owl, Slow Dancer and Espresso-X had not completed the course - missed the last mark AS15.
