berny Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 12 boats is a reasonable turnout considering there were sloops and super sloops. Maricats just keep on keeping on . Wayne Barry 2nd was a shock. Bern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shy thunder Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 There was only one sloop at states all the rest were super sloops and cat rigged. The light weather had a large influence on the results, we all had bruises on our ribs from leaning over the front beam to get the nose down and bum up for the whole series. Even I was able to to beat lachlan during one race and finish 4th, skill played a lot in reading the conditions and the other boats. But Lachlan outpointed and was able to foot faster most of the time..... so consequently skippers weight had a lot to do with results with similar weights finishing close....it was a great series with boats finishing closer than the results indicated. cheers d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
