Next boat coming up...mark rounding (again) Big Daddy 2012

[[posterous-content:pid___1]] Spinnaker preset[[posterous-content:pid___2]]and up!

[[posterous-content:pid___3]]Next fleet coming up to the windward mark and getting ready to round it

Boat approaching the offset mark[[posterous-content:pid___11]]Oopsie, a little hourglass knot; not looking good, eg. not looking fast :)[[posterous-content:pid___12]][[posterous-content:pid___6]]pre-feeding the spinnaker[[posterous-content:pid___5]]You can see the mast person pulling on the halyard and the bow person feeding the spinnaker out of the hatch so it doesn't get caught on anything. Makes for a fast set. We now do this on Elise with our pit person jumping up to the mast to do that. then jumping back to get the jib down
