Marspeed is way back in the fleet according the tracker - that lightweight Marstrom probably had intertia issues trying to get through that surf on starboard.
Try not having a jib and trying to drive through the surf with no board in and no rudders. They backed down on the second sandbar and lost their leeward rudder. Today the M20 went too far offshore in a tactical gamble that didn't pay.
@ Tad, I know Jake has lots of distance race experience and is a good sailor, but even he is fallible. I'm also not afraid of your resume so go ahead, post away.
The childish responses by a few to pure fact on this forum stopped me from posting correct information for the general masses.
