How would the rating change on the carbon wonder boat if it had a wing, curved boards and T-foil rudders? Just wondering whistle wink

No wing, no T-foils and carbon fiber wonder boy made it to the end taking second place behind the Robert's family on the RC 30. Beth and Karl had a really good day along with Jack Woehoel (sp) on the H20 making very good calls being in the right place at the right time all day. Mark and Tyler on their 5.5 also were well up there.

Finishers from memory:

1 - Roberts
2 - Moss
3 - Ingram
4 - Langefeld
5 - Mark and Tyler
6 - Chris Chords

More results tomorrow after the awards.

How did my big red boat (Daddio) do without me?

It was a long day for sure. Good job Ding. Once the wind piped up we were toast.

Missed you out there Robert. Daddio didn't do all that well and neither did Tierney. It was an extremely difficult day with with multiple opportunities to make bad decisions plus the 1 knot incoming tide didn't help. It was also a year where many of the multihull fleet didn't make the 6:30 cut off point at Shands Bridge. The seabreeze saved us from what could have been a very long night.

Hey Robert we were thinking of you...Daddio and the Orange 27 had a good dog fight going almost all the way to the finish. We got through the Shands just ahead and that made the difference. We got the wind on the other side and we were able to gap Daddio enough to stay ahead. They did a great job though. It was a real long and tuff day in the light air at the back of the fleet. The Roberts family did very well at the start. He recut his reacher to what looked like just a big jib. Very flat and he could point with it. We had him covered into the first turn with him stuck on the West side of River looking like he might stay there all day. Then the wind filled in over there and he sailed all the way around us and that was the last we saw of him. He made one good tack in the last finger of air to come our way and it was game over for us. We sat for almost 2 hours trying to get ahead of a crab trap. Anyway, hopefully you can make the race next year and keep that sand out of your shoes.

Thanks for the update guys. I'll be back in plenty of time for next year. It'll be nice to see some water instead of endless beaches.
