Sunday Big Boat Race

Sunday Gemma Vuckovic hosted Big Boat race from NYC. 15 boats turned up for this handicap event. Big news for MSR is we had 4 of our 6 racers show up for the first round as Neron, Reven, Quirky, and I lined up on a lag filled course.

None of the team scored a win but Neron showing that racing almost everyday has its advantages lead the team through the first two rounds. Neron placed Second in the first round and Fourth in the second round passing me floundering on the final leg.

In the third round shaking the dust off some I came in second coming behind the lengendary IcaBod Jonesford, and in the fourth and final round came in second behind Joro Aya proving she can sail more then just the fizz fast.

Reven took the line in the first round scoring Seventh in a very tough field of racers and gained some well earned experience in a crowded field in heavy lag.

Quirky I believe ran more then the first round but the results only go up to 9 racers, however Q wouldn't finish behind Colin unless he dropped out so theat may have been the case. He did however post a Sixth place in the first round.

My thanks to all the MSR racers who showed up for a very tough race, and heres hopeing in the near future to have all 6 racers in a single race.
