We had our last day of practice today. Off the dock at 9:30 AM and straight into 2 practice starts and a race. We had everyone out there today, Titan, Shockwave, Numbers, and us. So we got some realistic practice starts with all the boats. We did this a couple of times and called it a day coming back to the dock around 1 PM. This will be a tight event. Not many boats in our class to get much of a point spread and Numbers is a quick boat for only 66 feet. Plus, they have IT (the Vanilla Gorrilla). So the pressure is on or else we have to listen to him for the next year.
Stay tuned for tomorrow.
