all you have to do is steer). I told Dennis good job, and we went on to still finish
th
4 .

st
The second day brought word of a similar wind shift. The 1 race got off on time,
st
however something went wrong on Hamburglar while we rounded the 1 leeward
mark. No one seemed to know how it happened, but our spinnaker was in the
water, underneath the boat. The crew went into motion, while I just steered. I
remember the race committee calling to see if we were alright. We didn’t have
time to answer. We lost a few positions but once again Hamburglar showed her
nd
speed up wind and we gained a few back and had the spinnaker up for the 2
th
downwind leg and finished 4 .

The Race Committee then made the decision to move the racecourse in
anticipation of the forecasted wind change. Well, it never happened and when
they finally moved it back the wind was dying and eventually went dead, and
finally changed after the day’s races had been called off. So Hamburglar and its
st
Crew pulled off a 1 Place for the event. All it takes is a fast boat, some luck,
and, most of all, a Good Crew.
