The first leg was a broad reach on port. This time I got the boat to the line on the left side to the windward side of the 3 other J120's. We managed to get the boat to mark d in 1st with Night Moves and Merlin with the 3/4 oz. chute in 12 knots of wind. We made the turn gybing the spinnaker. Unfortunately the chute was a little slow coming around and I let NM get on the inside to windward. This was the noisy leg as Kurt o NM would not shut up. I am glad he was on the other boat. We managed to get just ahead of NM at mark B and this time getting tight to the mark so they had no room to pass. This allowed us to gas them on this weather leg and gain some ground in front of them. We stayed on port until the lay line which allowed us to gas NM all the way in on starboard. The following leg to D was another reach so there was very little to gain or lose there. I just tried to stay between NM and mark D. The leg to DP7 was a weather leg. Hot Ticket and Merlin went to the left side of the course where we stayed on the right to cover NM. At DP7 we simply went on a close reach and managed to hold off Merlin and NM to finish 1st.
