Was invited out to be bowman on the Farr 395 Eye Candy for the Protection Island Race. Boy, did I make too many mistakes - asymmetrical kites are still too new to me. I got the tack line lead the wrong way putting the sheets "outside" way too many time (three or four times, I think). Once I launched the chute with the tack and clew reversed. I'm not going to take the credit for that one, I think it was packed in the bag backwards.
Anyways, it was a long race with just about ever different sailing condition you can name. We had a pretty good ride, got knocked down pretty good a couple of times, but keep moving and actually got home quite early. We corrected out over the bigger boats and finished eighth.
Picture to come ...
