Wes was surprised with the announcement that he would helm. The Crew Race is a great opportunity for everyone to switch positions. Wes was on helm and I was on foredeck. Derek did sheets.
We did not have a great start. Our wanderings to windward meant that we were OCS and had to do a quick dip. Not a good start. Our spinnaker hoist was delayed was we had to re do the lines. We did a windward douse while rounding the leeward mark. Our second hoist went well but we were well behind.
Not a great result but perhaps a useful event. Switching positions puts people in unaccustomed roles. Let’s call it a learning exercise!
