Yes, everyone who knows anything about sailboat racing would make that recommendation to anyone but it is much easier to make the recommendation than to put the recommendation into practice.sort of like saying just stay in front all the way but it's winning the start and staying in front that's hard to do sometimes.I do agree with the general statement that says "you can't win by following" so if you are not fortunate enough to win the strat and get to the first shift first and regocnize that there is indeed a real shift and how to use that shift to your advantage then you might be forced to try something different or else be satisfied to follow and consequently place second or lower.soemtimes it hard to make that bold decision to tack away and look for better fortune

Extend your lead. I guarantee that if you follow this advice, you'll win. Good Luck!

I want to thank all of you in advance for your support, advice, patience, equipment and even sails that have made it possible for me to enter the race. There will be fellow C&C ers on the boat both ways! Our class includes Steve Sharkey's C&C 37 as well as a mini transat 21 footer and a 100 foot schooner. Should make the starting line interesting. You can track us at www.bermudaoceanrace.com. They are using Spots, not Yellowbrick. Finally, as a follow up to an earlier post, I ran out of time to make a fancy enclosure for the frig compressor. Some corrugated plastic board from Home Depot and duct tape will suffice for now. If nothing else, it will serve as a template for a more permanent solution. -- Joel The Office Annapolis 301 541 <tel:301%20541%208551> 8551 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com -- Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Ave Newport, RI USA 02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ phone +401 965 5260
