Race Night 3

A race like no other. First the engine's cord was broken and we were towed out by staff. I cleared the line to the bow. Then our Genoa had a tear and between races we changed it to a jib. Finally on the return to the slip, we dropped the jib, brought the main halfway down, but not reeded, and due to low winds in the docking area we rocked the boat to continue momentum. It was an excellent learning day. Roger was the skip, crewed by Pierre, Rich, and Tim. I mastered the jib sheets. We won 1-2-2-3-3-2-3
