Racing is over and we're driving home. Almost to Tallahasee and have a chance to type while Brian is driving.
The last day's racing was intense. breeze was the strongest of the week, but still lighter than we had trained for. We were able to get a third place finish behind Dealer's Choice (which I think had the best record of the week for any class- BOTW?) and Relentless...(great sailing by both teams).
So the top 3 teams for KWRW were also the top finishers for the Champions (read Pro) class: Dealer's Choice, Bad Boys and Relen tless.
In the Presidents (read Amateur) class we were able to squeeze out Flight Simulator for a first place finish. I know every crew worked hard for their team, but Craig, Scott and Brian were determined that were going to leave nothing on the table. Thanks for the win guys.
Flight Simulator came in second, and Ranger took third. They gave nothing away, and I know we'll be doing battle again soon.
You should be able to see the race on
www.kattack.com with their viewer (free). They put transponders on every tri for the last race. Should be lots of data about angles/speed to play with. You will get a sense of just how tight the racing was.
We also had a cameraman from Jobson sailing aboard. Should be a vignette online at
www.jobsonsailing.com. I don't know how much of the interview they will keep, but I plugged the class and boat hard.
I can't tell you all how much we enjoyed meeting everyone in the fleet. Really cool people, feirce competitors and great sailors.
We'll be at the NOOD's @ St. Pete. Expect some more great OD sailing!
