MAST Racing July 2, 2010

Another wild and windy race on Lake Michigan as this has been a good year so far for exciting races. This was the Moonlight triangle, a distance race to the South Shore Bell Buoy, the Milwaukee Yacht Club mark and back to the start at the Main Gap, about 10 miles as the crow flies. The winds were in the low to mid 20's with waves at 1 to 3 feet. We again had a light crew and were required to reef the sails which greatly affects our pointing ability but we ran a good race, shook out the reef on the downwind run and had a great close reach to the finish. Crew was a bit sore, wet and tired after the race but we had a great time! Keep in touch as the season progresses.
