match racing in New York
















I have been sailing with the panama jack racing team at the Knickerbocker cup.
check out the blog panamajackracing.blogspot.com
We have had a frustrating day, sailing well but not converting it into points. We made a few aggressive moves in high risk areas, this sets you up for a risky umpire call and they were not going in our favour.
After day 2 we had 3 wins 2 losses, today we added 1 win and 5 losses.
Not quite enough to make the top eight. So we will walk away from this one with lots of lesions learned.
Its a humbling experience and we are positive about the lesions, I think it will make us much stronger for the regatta in LA next week.
I also managed to waterlog my waterproof camera (not sure how that works) So i have a serious lack of footage and pix from this event.
