Our first regatta series was the feb classic frostbite series put on in Oak Harbor by WINSA. We faced off against a few Olsen 30s and a U20. Mostly this is an opportunity to shake the bugs out and prepare for the upcoming season. The weather this year wasn't too bad and we managed to recruite another sailing member, Ben from down south.
While the racing isn't exactly top notch, it gives us an excuse to go out pretend we know what we are doing.
Obviously we take our racing very seriously. I believe the catch phase "Shut up and trim. Winners don't have fun" was coined during this series.
We did a lot of work on the bottom this winter, new bottom paint and we made the keel fixed, so we faired in the opening around the keel with expoxy. This turned out to be a horrible idea, more about that later. I think the power of bob prevailed this year and we took a second place.
