On December 8th we raced the Cortez Racing Association Year End Regatta. We were greeted by cool weather and brisk breeze. With puffs into the 15 knot range we were able to get Karma on a plane a few times on the downwind. The first course was a 10 mile bay tour with the majority of the course a close reach. With it being too tight for the spin we were hurting for this race, but we did manage to pass a few boats once we got the kite up.
The second race was almost a direct windward/leeward type course, twice around, which was great for us. With a few tweaks to the rig, great downwind speed and some awesome crew work we were able to get a second in class. Unfortunately, there was a collision at the start of this race, so the results are still pending, which isn't that big of a deal, but the trophy was a bottle of champagne, which is something Theresa and I can always use.
