Now at home in South Dartmouth

Boat I'm racing on this summer.

Nice! Pretty cool you guys were doing 10+ in 12kts of true windspeed! (looks like you were reaching - based on the jib trim) What position are you. That spin pole looks pretty massive - I wouldn't want to be the foredeck guy on that thing! Good luck this summer

It was good to see you guys out on the water last night! I was on Roe Rage (J105). Is that an old transpac sled?

the instrument shot with the other crew's hand on it is pushing hard upwind...

she goes like a rocket when you go bow down on the wind though... we were clocking true windspeed upwind at times

with a #4 jib and full main

She's an Andrews 70, ex Titan XI
Was one of the west coast transpac sleds, also did newport-bermuda in 58 hours 2 years ago (faster than the old record... 5 hours behind Roy Disney's last Pyewacket)

I bounce between foredeck/bow man and runner duty on that boat when I'm on it.

Also that spinnaker pole isn't even the BIG one for the full masthead kites.

That one is about 35-40 feet long.

Zacs, biggest boat in Padanaram.

Amusing thing, we brought the boat down from RI a week ago, and did an NBYC persuit race to Menemsha (where the pics are from).

We started 45min after the first boat (obviously we were the last boat off the line).

And beat the 2nd place boat by over 15 minutes.
We were already on a mooring and kicking em back when the 2nd boat had finally crossed.
