Just Registered. That makes three boats so I think we have a division. I will be racing with my 12 year old on this one. The 13 year old has had enough racing after Oxford.

Great race, fun time. Definitely worth doing if you are considering it. Painfully light air built slowly and turned into a nice sail by the last leg. Zane won the Donnybrook youth participation trophy. He calls it his chicken nugget tray. Lol I learned once again that upwind the tiny blade I use for comfortable cruising is just ok in any real wind upwind and keeps the heeling minimal, but downwind I need to start running in the spinnaker class or swap to a Genoa. We got walked pretty handily by pretty much everything downwind. Good times!
