Evening sailing villingin venda

I was lucky to grab from local pubs a lousy crew (Ipu and Per) for the evening "race" about +/-10 nm organized by eastern sailing clubs of Helsinki. We took part in the"huge boat" class LYS 1,20 or more (we have 1,20) Weather could not be better SW win 5-6 m/s. Traditionally the start failed so we crossed the start line one minute too late. Luckily somebody found some beer to wash away the taste of blood from our mouths. The beer helped and soon we passed FinnGulf 33 (LYS 1,24) with ultra professional crew (Skipper and 2 kids). After showing some true sport spirit by waving hands, shouting slogans and blowing horns our glorious team was able to keep ahead of them until the finishing line. We reached clearly the silver position (of three yachts), a Beneteau first 36,7 was the lucky winner). Nice evening. Good start for the new sailing season. Thank you crew!
