Shockwave in Traffic - 2015 Quantum Key West Race Week Tim Wilkes
2015 Quantum Key West Race Week - Two races were held today in fairly steady conditions of seven - twelve knots from the south. A first race raw started and abandoned about 3/4’ers of the way through due to lack of wind.
In both races, Bella Mente had just slightly the better of us. Nothing dramatic happened in the races and were managed our position to not get tacked on by the slightly faster boat.
We finished second by 10 seconds and 7 seconds respectively.
While this is frustrating, we did make a significant improvement in our performance of our boat from yesterday. We have been working hard on our rig tune and mainsail set up.
After four races, Bella Mente leads with five points, we on Shockwave have nine and Numbers has ten. Six more races are scheduled.
Tomorrows forecast is not good. Very light wind.
