Racing on Frequent Flyer - Farr 30

Last Sunday, Nat raced on Frequent Flyer, a Farr 30 at the Redwood Cup, doing spin trim. The boat is only 3 feet longer than Elise but has nearly double the sail area (and the keel weight :))

Pretty amazing ride, even though we had some really interesting 180 wind shifts...one moment you are sailing downwind, the next upwind ;-)

The boat tied in for 1st place.
