I am not sure where I ended up in the regatta but it was a lot of fun. I had good races and bad but I learned a lot during the regatta. This is only my second winter sailing a laser and it has been a blast.
Some of what I learned:
Keep the boat upright- I was in the 35 degree water three times during the day. Flipping right at the windward mark when there is a line of boats coming at you on the starboard layline is exciting
Coming in on the port layline is risky. I was 1/2 a boat short of rounding the mark before the train of starboard tackers arrived. Result losing 15 or more boats.
30 boats regattas are fun
