Wreckers Cup Race #2

Racing with the Big Boys: In February, we competed in the second Wrecker's race. Participants ranged from a 17 foot trimaran to schooners over 90 feet. We came in 5th in the category of boats over 40 feet. The day is great fun, more party than race. Our marina sent 6 of the 40 or so boats participating (and probably 40 marina residents as crew) , with at least 2 more retired military boats in the fleet. Our crew were Jan and Luke Sands, and their friends Bob and Gale Bert, long-time Beneteau racers, who taught us how to fly our borrowed red, yellow, blue, and white spinnaker.
