Light breeze at the downwind start with spinnaker flying.

Course B4R. Slow due to the bottom fouling, or perhaps due to the number of people aboard. Rounded the "A" behind LinGin and ahead of the rest of the fleet.

Reached out to the "E" mark, rounding after LinGin and Laughing Gull.

Beat up to the "B" mark. At the mark Skybird tacked immediately below us from port to starboard tack, forcing us to sail above close hauled. See Dave Perry's 100 Best Racing Rules Quizzes Through 2020 quiz number 34 and 35. TC and Mike exchanged views on the situation and TC decided to fly a protest flag.

Finishing order: LinGin, Laughing Gull, Argo, Skybird, Second-2-Nun.
