Mike- <br>Good to hear from you! Not sure what contention you mean- <br>As Dale mentioned there was ONE race that turned into a "straight shot" after the first mark. I was to the left of the fleet and noted better wind to the right so went right w/ several other boats and that's really where that race was won. It was only myself and some of the Miracles that went that direction and the Inter went left and finished behind all of us boat for boat. Not sure if he could have flown his chute on the "downwind" reach, it was fairly light air so should have helped if he could. <br>I have not seen the results (would love to!) myself but apparently I and the spi boat were first or second in almost all the races. Some of the races Saturday were fairly gusty and I don't know if they used their spi in every race, this would make a difference I assume although wind-corrected numbers should deal with? <br>Anyway, I haven't heard any more about it so who knows?? <br> <br>Kirt<br><br>Kirt Simmons <br>Taipan #159, "A" cat US 48
