Bottom was cleaned for the PSA Moonlight Race that took place on 10 June 2017.
Course B1. Almost a fetch on port tack from the pin to the first mark, but not quite. Boats trying to fetch the first mark from the pin ended up some 50 to 75 yards below the first mark. Suggested to TC that we start on starboard passing the entire fleet. We passed behind four boats but banked distance to windward. Once able to fetch the mark well, just a couple yards below the mark, we tacked to port. Now above the entire fleet but for Skybird which followed our lead but held on starboard tack noticeably longer. Arrived at the first mark ahead of the rest of the fleet. About five lengths ahead of Wicked.
Close reach to the next mark. Rounded, raised spinnaker and sailed back past the Y "A" and R "4". Wind had increased a bit making the spinnaker a handful. Three J/30's were behind Argo: Inflectious Smile, Pogo, and Suzie Q. We deliberately held course after passing Y "A" to get above the J/30's. Had to wait for Infectious Smile to turn down so that we could head to the R "4". Then had to wait for them again before the gybe.
On the run from R "4" to R "8", got a bit high of the mark. Wicked, Pogo, and Suzie Q tried to slip in between us and the mark. Had to wait for Pogo to gybe before we could gybe before rounding R "8". Pogo moved ahead. Wicked stayed behind but had gained some. Issues with Suzie Q after the turn at R "8". They were failing to stay up and threatening to fall down onto us. Took a while for them to get their spinnaker under control. During these shenanigans, we lost ground on Wicked and ended up above and nearly overlapped with Wicked.
Dropped the spinnaker just short of G "SC". Gained on Wicked all the way to the finish, ending up ahead by some 2 to 3 lengths.
Finishing order: Argo, Wicked, LinGin, Laughing Gull, Asylum, Skybird, and Second-2-Nun.
