Blue Martini had a fast downwind
leg and was forced to take down the spinnaker early to avoid a port- starboard conflict with Outlaw. This slowed their approach to the mark and they were passed by Rubicon who rounded just in front. Symbiosis followed. After rounding, it was not long
before the P9 fleet split up, half going west and half going east. Blue Martini’s Laney Gale began the race with the strategy to go west after rounding at Scatchet Head, and that she did. While some boats stayed rather near the middle for awhile after rounding, the fleet split up into the western boats and the eastern boats. About 2/3 of the beat to the finish, the boats short tacking the east shore of the Sound included
Here and Now, Rubicon, Kowloon,
Outlaw, and Symbiosis, while on the west shore, Blue Martini was sailing
with Penetration, Magic Button, and Norn
from P10 and P11. Blue Martini stuck with their plan to stay west, hoping for the westward shift, staying out of the

We had at least a 20-degree lift on starboard and favorable current. We were the only boat at this point, as all the boats behind us had crossed earlier. With great crew work and tactical plan, we were able to pick off several boats in our fleet and finish
just behind Lunch Box!”
Alex summed up the race
current and waves, until past President Point. Laney continued, “When we were almost laying the committee boat we started across, footing off the wind with a better course through the waves.

perfectly. “It was an interesting race - not all are. It was not the same situation as last weekend, where the first several starts had WAY more pressure than later starts, and look who took First Overall (minus the trimaran) – the Olson 25 Three Ring Circus in P11! They sailed a great race. It’s awesome to see little boats like the Olson 25, Norn the SC27, and Ladybug, a Peterson 30, do so well overall.” The Corinthian Yacht Club's Center
