Fighting through a low into bigger wind on the other side, apparently:

Thanks for posting, I would have missed it. Commanding lead by the guy in the Hobie 33 given waterline length, and they haven't even come to the downwind part yet.

I'm rooting for the Express 37 given it's a second cousin to my boat. Would love to get around to doing this event some day.

Brian Boschma tells me that several of the boats are using his Pelagic autopilot this year. It will be interesting to see how it does.

Well, adding ours and 3 more, we could have our own one design class......

The beautiful Hinckley Sea Wisdom is sailing wing-on-wing only (no spinnaker) and pulling up the rear.

The Hobie 33 manned by an experienced young guy continues to skate ahead.

I hope Christian finds steadier wind than these racers have had.
