Alan, It was a course 2 and during the race, the wind shifted so that it was straight shot from A to C and C to A. I watched the whole thing. I was kind of lucky. I was forced to port tack on the start along with about 4-6 other boats including the Taipan which Kirt was sailing and the rest of the fleet went to left side of the course. The wind started to shift to the right and we were able to reach the layline for A with only 1 short tack. For rest of the race it was just a drag race from A to C marks.
<br>Congratulations to Kirt for winning the Cup.
