In the Island Fever regatta last weekend, I held off a Nacra 6.0 Express for almost an hour in 8-10 knots, flat water, 10-mile tight spinnaker reach. I think if I'd been more forward on the boat and not gotten cramps in my trimming hand, I might have held him off and beaten him to the first mark. After four hours of racing on the 36 nm course, I scored second place. MAN that was a fun weekend to be on a 14!
