Our first race with me and the Admiral only, we arrived five minutes late to the start line and then proceeded to make four tacks at the start line trying to get lined out. So the fleet took off on starboard but we took off on port. Which was tactically the correct answer although we didn't know it at the time. We ended the race in second place but finished third on adjustments.
We did much better this weekend. First across the line and we never looked back. Waiting to see if the 22 footer adjusts out ahead of us or not.
