9/10’s

Update: The racing has been good, with a bit of a shake up after Saturday’s last light air race. Ruckus is currently tied for first with Justice, and the dopey Ed maybe having one of the dumber things happen when his engine trap door opened during day one, rendering the boat so off the pace for races two and three that it was almost beyond belief. We started slowing down in race one while in the lead, and tried everything but didn’t even think to look at the door. That sealed our fate but we have a decent shot at third going into the last day…

In what must be one of the best (and last?) turnouts, the Flying Tiger 10’s are having their NA’s this Friday-Sunday at Coronado Yacht Club. Smooth water, no kelp and decent breeze are usually delivered in SD’s South Bay, so it should provide a good venue for pretty tight racing. We’d guess that the boys from Oxnard on Ruckus are the favorites, with second up for grabs between Mile High Klub, Justice, Nihui and Anarchy. But you never know and that’s why they play the game. The Ed will drop in updates Friday, Sat and Sun, assuming he doesn’t get thrown out of the event for something…
