Bassacwards Race July 2003

We had a wonderful sunny day. Winds were around 25-30 miles per hour.	Here is a picture of most of the "motley crew"
Here is the "look-out"  None of us except the captain had any experience sailing or racing, and we came in 17th out of 45. Not bad	This picture was taken after the race.
During the race, the boat was running on a 40 degree heel, and actually got up to to 50 degree.	No pictures were taken during the race because we were too busy just trying to hold on!
