During Race 3, our boat speed seemed a little slow considering the 35 knot winds, so we thought we'd put the boat over, and I climbed on the keel to check for the plastic bags we thought were tied there.... but really, that was one scary moment - everyone on the rail was in the water, and having seen a youtube video of a J24 going down, and being used to hopping onto laser keels in my youth, I was over the rail towards the keel in a heartbeat  - apparently I stepped on Jerrys ear on my way up and over. I still don't believe him.

I agree we can do better. When we were on (in the shifty breezes and flat water of Carlisle bay), we took a first and a third. On the South coast races the next day though, the lumpy seas didn't suit our Rodney Bay flatwater and looking for shifts style - they ware hard to spot, and our mark rounding were tactically inefficient in those seas - If anyone came out of those races without a good set of bruising, they were spectating... We need to practice in other conditions other than our flat water paradise. 

One correction, Jabulani is a Bajan boat, but it was sailed by a Trini Melges 24 crew - and one place where they cut tail was on the downwinds, zig-zagging down the course - they must have gybed kite twice as much as any boat on the downwind legs along the south coast - something that perhaps should be noted. Especially as the Melges boys took the regatta. 

Overall, an excellent regatta, a lot of fun!
