Matt and Gina did indeed win, followed by Ollie and Kelly Jason on a Cap. F18, folled by Brian Karr and JC on a Nacra F18 (infusion), followed by Dave Ingram and Pastsy Shafer on a Nacra F18 (not an infusion) Not sure about 5th place, 6th was Jennifer and Fred on a Cap F18, followed by me in 7th, on a Uni Blade, using the two up number, which surprises me, since it's not supposed to go into effect until 2008.
It was obvious to everyone, when it's 15 gusting to 20 all day, and you run 6 three lap races (18 upwind and 17 spinnaker legs) having a crew to launch and stow the kite makes a HUGE difference, yet we Uni boys had to use the two up number and we were much slower launching and stowing our kites, no doubt. My arms are so beat, I can't tie my shoes!
Matt and Gina were finishing -boat for boat- in front of many of the bigger boats, including the A cats. They really deserved the win, it was not all on corrected time.
Great regatta, 10 races in only two days mostly great wind, a little light this morning but then it came on later, you got your money's worth!
Great dinner put on by the club as Pete has said above. Thanks to all the hard work put in by the GYC!
