2007 Saragota Sprint (aka Baby Island)

So Baby Island is a race in August that WINSA puts on that is a nice relaxing pace compared to Race Week a month earlier. The big thing this year for us was the engineering genious that Joey displayed when adding our new SailComp to the boat. Not to be out done by fancy brackets, or recommended mounting ideas in the manual, Joey pulled one right out of the 3M play book.....scotch tape. I have never met anyone who has scotch tape on a boat, in fact, I couldn't produce you a roll of scotch tape from my desk as I type. Not this guy, he pulls out a full roll, and in under one minute, had the sailcomp mounted in a very seaworthy manner right next to our chartplotter. Classic.......







As you can see, we have our game faces on, and a good thing too, since the well known racing yacht, "Yeah Dogg" made an apperance to go head to head with Shenanigans. I know what you are probably thinking, "Is that Chad in the back of that boat?" The answer is yes! Either he was too drunk to realize he was holding onto the tiller and not the spinnaker pole, or he is doing a great job acting like a winner yacht racing skipper.


Yeah Dogg managed to pull out front and hang onto a nice lead in the 15 knots southerly that had develped after a light air start. It took us half way uphill to catch up to these guys. This is the moment we climbed above them and passed them after an hour tacking dual.




Chad and the gang ended up correcting out over us, and claimed a first place trophy, good for him! Very cool to see Chadly driving a boat.
