HYC Spring Series Regatta March 19 2011

Picture by Brad Larson at anchor at Wussy Bay.
Joan III beating up to get as close as we dare to the yacht harbor's breakwater to tack and round the old judge stand seen just in front and about half a mile back.
We needed one more tack.

Great crew sailing with Joan III for the first time.
Felt like we had sailed together for a long time.
And...1st Place of the non-spinnaker group; 4th in the whole fleet with ahead of us only a J-21, a Beneteau and "Outrageous".
Not only a great sail crew but also great help getting J-III ready for the next race.
