Shame in Chicago

It's been a tough two days for the team in chicago.  Yesterday the breeze was far better than they forecast with up to 13 knots of breeze. The team felt fast but with some questionable umpire calls and a few mistakes the team ended the day with two wins but we still had one more race against Roble to try and end the second round robin on three wins.

Today the breeze took its time to come to us in the morning. The fleet found themselves waiting for the breeze until after mid day but when you have a nice big house boat with Internet to wait on it doesn't seem like such a problem. Once the breeze arrived we were sent back out onto the boats for our last race against Roble. Off the start we felt good but Roble managed to make the first cross on the course and was able to hold just ahead until the end.

The team is disappointed but we still have 3 more regattas here in the US. The next being the Detroit Cup which will start on thuresday.

The team would like to thanks Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Zhik, the Ron Tough Yachting Foundation, Peter Chappell, Rod Scott & McNally Group
