A bit of a mess...that's our start :)
The only reason we decided to fall behind the other boats was because we wanted to get closer to the photographer. Nicer view of the boat that way. Note that the wind was pretty solid when we first got out and because we were short-handed (only three people), we decided to fly the small jib. Everyone else wasn't short-handed and flew their big genoa...We didn't change sails close to the start (hesitated for a long time as we didn't know what the weather was going to settle as) and that kind of didn't help us go any faster frankly...
Oh yes, I just found an excuse!! We were short-handed in both races!!!
