The forecast was for a good northeaster - what we got was a light easterly. Four sharpies raced - I think most of the monos are still in holiday mode ! Space Monkeys and Pleasure & Pain were without sheethands however Riley ended up jumping on P&P with SM ending up having to sail two handed - probably a bit of an advantage with the conditions we got. Mainiac had Rod skippering a sharpie for the first time while John is away - with Amelias older brother Matt taking on the forward hand role.
The racing was very close - Mainiac suffering a little on the first lap while getting used to the boat. Space Monkeys led for most of the first lap, losing out to Pleasure & Pain evenutally on the very tight reach. Blur came through and took the lead on the second lap and held it till the mark X rounding. Pleasure & Pain dropped back a little and Space Monkeys was running second.
As can be the case sometimes the wind was weird between X and the finish. Space Monkeys got a good lift and finished ahead of Blur with Pleasure and Pain and Mainiac finishing in that order.
Space Monkeys needs a club race crew member through to the end of the season - we are happy to give one of the juniors a ride - anyone interested please talk to me.
