Day 2 of OCR

Day 2 of OCR brought a solid 15-20kts from the Southeast with some sizable chop (especially noticeable on Port). It was another day of poor boat speed, both up and downwind. Our boat's lack of stiffness is quite apparent in a choppy sea state as we seem to just go through the waves as opposed to skipping over then…

Though we did have some nice moments throughout the three races, with two good starts (one port hand approach at the Pin where we ducked the first 6 boats and were first to the right!), and hitting a couple wind shifts seeing us maintain a top 10 well into the 2nd windward leg. But eventually boats around us were slowly able to grind us down, seeing us finish 13th. Gotta just take the good from the races!...as hard as it is being slower than other boats.

So overall we were still able to put up good enough scores to see us move up a few places. Looking towards tomorrow we will try to sail tactically smart and hopefully be able to squeeze out some better races.

Keep posted!
