2015 Wet Wednesdays

Seems like déjà vu, the last and final Wet Wednesday series was almost identical the second. One Time again came out of the blocks breathing fire with three straight bullets. Tiburon again won two in a row to make it a series going into the last race. And what a race it was! This was probably the closest race of the season. One Time and Tiburon both got clean starts and headed to weather. One Time banged the right corner and Tiburon went more middle. Tiburon came back to the right to meet One Time coming in on layline. Tiburon lee bowed and both boats were overlapped coming in to weather. One Time rounded slightly ahead with Tiburon on their stern. From weather to the finish, the boats were never separated by more than a boat length. I would say that on 80% of the downwind leg the boats were in some shape or form overlapped. It was cat and mouse all the way to the finish. In about 1 to 2 knots of breeze it was nerve racking. At the gun One Time and Tiburon were overlapped with One Time getting it again *&^%#.

Congratulations to One Time for a clean sweep of the three Wet Wednesday series. It’s been one hell of a summer for those guys and they deserve a lot of praise. They have sailed flawlessly all summer long and have been really hard to beat. Well done One Time!

See you guys out on the water…
