2023 - New York YC Annual Regatta - Around the Island

We came in 2nd in class (1st in the Rolex Team race) losing to “Interlodge” on corrected time by 1minute 4 seconds. We had an excellent start and sailed a very good first leg. What we learned this race was the crew of a TP52 does not know how to sail that boat. Upwind, they over-sheet the main and pinch all the time which results in them being higher than us and just about same speed. If we get caught in their wind shadow, we are hurt. The Jib not on the halyard lock on the final upwind leg hurt more. Between those two items, we had a very good chance to win.
