Get Heavy

Bring on the heavy air!!! The PUMA guys called in last night and both Brad and Glenn were very happy with their sailing results and with the wind conditions. According to Glenn, there were gusts on the race course of up to 25 knots yesterday morning. There was quite a lot of carnage reported on the race course, but our guys were able to get by with minimal damage.

Sitting in spot 18, Glenn was much happier with his sailing yesterday. His race results were 17, 23, and 22. Good results even with a few capsizes thrown his way. Glenn switched out his light air sail for his heavy sail to suit yesterday's conditions. He's hoping the wind keeps up and he can move up a few spots in the fleet.

Despite break downs in race nine and ten, Brad had an amazing day of sailing yesterday. Forced to retire in race nine, he finished race eight in third and race ten in fifth, helping him move up the scoring board to eighth position. Brad fiddled with his foil before racing yesterday, which allowed his to get his bow down and sail the boat high and fast. After sailing, last night he was pretty tired but very pleased with his progress each day.

Wind conditions today are expected to be in the lower 20's today, great conditions for hard sailing by Brad and Glenn. More updates to come throughout the day.
