SINGLE-HANDED NATIONALS - Day 2 (pre-results)

by Pam

Doug called after the 4th race where he got 3rd and the junior, K. Terry, was firmly planted in first place and the breeze had died and they were waiting on shore for it to build. He was still in 2nd with a bigger point spread and Jim Young was in third and 5 races would give him a drop and move him up alot in the standings.

A post racing call from Doug indicated they got in two more races so they have a throw out. Doug was over early and had to go back and Jim launched out front. Doug caught him and won the race and also won the last race. Not sure, but that might make Doug the winner of the regatta. We'll know after the awards whether youth or experience comes out on top.

I'm just hoping the hat cam battery hadn't run out when Doug went back and came through the fleet. I've been wanting to be a bird on his shoulder when he did that.
