It was a very tight reach starting with about 5 knots of breeze building to 15+ over the course of the day. The F18's were able to set their spins early in the light air and hold their line, whereas it was too tight for the N20's. Then once the breeze came on, the F18's were again able to hold their lines while the N20's set their spins, drove down to the beach, drop, reach back up and reset.

The N20 that won line honors (Royal Yellow) set themselves up high early on, and it paid off.

We took the low road and passed 15 boats in the last 40 miles.

The Infusion was a machine in those conditions. We were both chickenlined in at the back beam reaching at 20knots. We would blast through a 4' wave up to the beam, drop down to 15 knots, shake it off, and take off again.
