Successful World Ducks

I managed to complete one race without dumping (and not losing the rudder). When the three minute gun went off I was chatting with Carl Danish well to leeward of the starting line. I wasn’t alone being late so I had some company working around the olympic course in very light air. Suited me just fine.

The new rig worked great, allowing for relaxed sailing. With less area she was a bit slower than the other boats but not that much. Lot’s of compliments.

Drifting (and towing) down to the start. Sailing, without a doubt, as slow as I can.

See, I did beat a few boats, finishing 62nd out of 73 boats in the first race. Left the course after the first race to get home and finish Irene preparations. Wait till next year.
