The first day of Melges 24 NA’s started today in Annapolis. The wind was up and the temps were down, 25+ knots and less than 50 degrees for most of the day. Drysuits were prevalent across the board. Sailing with Vincent Porter on the helm, Gabe Jostrom on spinnaker and jib, and Jackie Schmitz and Kate Chaney on the bow we had a baptism by fire today. We managed a great day barring being knocked down before the start during our first hour of sailing together. Vincent picked up the groove quickly with the boat upwind, and the downwinds were ripping. Here’s a classic clip of our firs t mark rounding with Chris Larson, Morgan Larson, and Terry Hutchinson. The commentator asks: “Who are those guys in Missfitz?” That’s us!
We’re making moves tomorrow. We’re tenth after today.
