Was an interesting weekend. One of the three 115s that took part
has been sold and has moved away, a second is now for sale and the
third raced very little last year
Hi Mike,
Sounds familiar! I knew a local skipper that sailed his Cal 29
really well. You'd look away for second and he'd tacked over into
the better current or wind and was way ahead - again! He bought a
J109, new everything, and the sail-makers sailed with him for the
first season. He won almost everything that year. The second year
he didn't buy new sails, begged for crew, and was way back in the
pack. I sail with him and was so surprised. He lost track of all
his experience, second guessed every trim and course decision, made
dumb moves, and sweated an cursed. No fun sailing with him at all.
I'm convinced the sail-makers & "rock stars" totally confused him.
Out last, out play. . .
Cheers, Lee
