Uh, yeah...

Stuff happens on the race course... Rules get broken, boats do their turn(s) and there was a lot of boats making these extra turns in the second race today. We were first to the windward mark, but hit the off set. Nobody saw it, but we did our turn. The flood tide at the mark made several boats touch the mark... Welcome to SF Bay, where when you think you're making the mark, your not. Because we sail in a river!!!! But the pictures below are when epoxy and a screw are not enough to hold the chain plates in. Such a bummer, Chris from GBR was getting her going "faster than greesed weesle shit." I'd never heard that one before.
