Every fall the WYC season ends with an unofficial race series... a weekly Sunday run down to a bar at the far side of the lake for a beer. You goota have a beer there or you're DNF. Called the Shackleton Cup, Blue J is uniquely equipped to dominate. And we do. Last week there were other boats out sailing, but we were the only boat that made the 14nm round trip. 40F and light South breeze. A close reach there, but a spin run all the way back. We mixed good sailing and good company with good music and questionable beer. Not super interested in max VMG, we optimize boat/wind angles for max speed, doing 5.6 knots in 7 knots of breeze. @cb32863 trims while Jodi's bestie handles main.
