“Today’s moderate wind strengths and choppy seas was a little tough for the boat today,” said the team’s crew boss Mike Sanderson. “The good thing about this event is that the mini maxi fleet keeps mixing it up and you never know what boat is going to take the win for the day. For example, Shockwave had it tough early this week but had a great day today.”
The team will take some time off to strategize tomorrow for the event’s designated lay day and pick up racing again on Friday (Sept. 5).
