🏆🌊 🏁 Race Results – Who Needs to Win to Be a Champion? 🏆
You don’t have to win a race to be the champion – just ask Mandala! 💪 She’s extended her series lead despite finishing behind most of the fleet on the water – proof that slow and steady (and smart) really does win the race 🐢⛵
Five brave boats took on the classic Weston Bay cocktail of 20+ knot winds and a boisterous sea state for what turned into a very lively trial of our proposed regatta course. For those who missed it, here’s the rollercoaster route:
Start at Mark E ➡️ A ➡️ back to E ➡️ B ➡️ back to E ➡️ C ➡️ back to E ➡️ D ➡️ and (you guessed it) finish at E.
Feedback’s been noted – a few tweaks incoming on mark directions – but overall, the course worked well. All it needs now is a proper name!
💡 The Commodore’s Starfish?
💡 Old MacDonald (EAEA-oh)?
💡 The Last Roundabout in Weston?
