Suncoast Regatta St. Petersburg to Tampa

Carinthia in front of St. Pete Yacht Club
This was the first day of a three day regatta with the first a 21.3 miler from St. Pete to Tampa (Davis Island Yacht Club). It started with a decent 16 knot wind from the stern. We got caught in a little bit of traffic but got the .6 spinnaker up with no problems. We managed to round the first mark in 4th place but managed to move up in the upwind leg. At the top end of the bay the wind at 15 knots turned into a reach. At that point we put up the code 0 and started to reel the other boats in. We finished 2nd corrected time so it was a pretty decent day. Link: http://henrymoore.org/scrw/2010_race_1%20scrw.pdf
