Round Island Race

Sailing outside in Exuma sound. Photo shows one of the two mid 40ish monos we passed on this 8 mile upwind leg. Someone told me a PDQ sailed the race a few years ago in these conditions and they "thought the boat might fall apart". We experienced a few slight slaps on the underwing, but nothing that disturbed our forward progress or Abbys test mug of water on the saloon table!

Podium Finish

Took first in the main event the round island race and 3rd in the harbor race. I believe we would have won overall but they did not award a firsT overall this year as they were short on rum. We sailed the 18 mile course which envolved 8 miles of beating into tradewind seas only 10 minutes slower (elapsed) than a performance Crowther 42 cat with daggerboards. There was a bit of grumbling about the rating of MoJo, but we simply out sailed the other boats and pushed the boat on all points of sail; beating all cats under 46' but the Crowther boat for boat. We had so much fun we are thinking of doing Abaco Race Week this year or next.
