I'm kinda hoping no one managed to catch our 20 kt pitchpole with spin up on Sunday.

For those that weren't there, the conditions were a bit more challenging than the images would indicate. Winds were around 15 on Saturday and upwards of 20 on Sunday. Gusts weren't furious, but they could easily jump the unsuspecting crews. Chop built up to about 2 feet, and I think a good number of pitchpoles were the result of driving over the top of the chop.

With busy starts and turns, things could go ugly fast. But that's the beauty of racing!
