FFR with Rachel on Saturday

Nice race with Rachel. It was her second race.  The previous race was on a 420 many decades ago.

We tried me helming but it did not work so well so she helmed most of the race as I handled the lines.  I steered to pinch around SL 33 and a few collision-avoidance tactics.

We came in fifth out of 8.  About typical.

It was 12 knots of wind at the raft-up so we went back to the harbour and had drinks and a BBQ at the dock.



Drove Rachel home afterwards.
