Yeah, in this race, those conditions happen. Usually not sustained while in Florida, but you'll get hit by the squalls coming off the coast. Once the race gets to the Carolinas, those conditions get more and more frequent.
It's why, IMO the Nacra 20 was probably the best boat for this race. ...
During the T500, I never came into Tybee at night. Can't imagine trying to cross the Tybee Triangle at night with those deep-ass F18 boards. Even during the day it sneaks up on you.
Trying to follow the updates on this race is incredibly frustrating for those of us who refuse to participate in Zuckerberg's data mining operation.
Grrr.
Crew really has a huge input into how fast these boats go. I was nothing without my crew on my old Nacra (hey bud, I see you there, been a while).
Dalton is one of the best. Really cool dude too.
Seeing these pics makes me really nostalgic to get back on a boat again.
