After the skipper’s meeting we set out for halfway rock rendezvous with the race committee. I am skippering “Madcap” with Jay Sharkey , Jonathan Hough, and Bill Hartnett as crew. After a postponement waiting for the southerly to fill, which never happened, we started in a light northerly. We nailed the start, a general recall. I never imagined that the other boats would let me in again. Nailed the second start, and rounded the first windward mark in third place, beating many modern boats. This is where or problems started. we were four and a crew of five can make all the difference. We will try to have a fifth for tomorrow and for the world’s, which start on tuesday.
