Raced sluff for the first time last night.  It was the last race of the spring series.  Yarrow offered to help me as Dad’s “stuck” delivering avalanche right now.  We haven’t gotten our real rating yet from PHRF (they’re having a meeting for us this week) so they gave us a provisional rating of 108…   It’s funny because that’s way too low IMHO (the open rates 130~156 in other regions).  I’m sure they’re just being cautious for now.  Regardless it looked to be a perfect night, but the wind dropped from 10~15 before the race to 5~8 for the race.  Light air isn’t fun for me ever, but our boat will not sail to it’s eventual rating, never mind 108 in light air.  We still had a great night and a ton of fun.  Going sailing, getting around a course, and NOT breaking anything are always good things.  It’s also the first time I’ve moved the boat with my car which felt great.
