I've been racing on a nice new C&C 115 this year but the water level is too low to get the boat out of the harbour tonight so we raced my boat instead. 20 to 30 knots of wind with a bunch of guys that don't have enough sense to throttle back. So we went out and and had a blast, sailing at 7 knots and up to 8 at times on my old 27 footer. There were boats wiping out, spinnakers blowing up all around us, one girl even went for a swim on a J24. We managed to get through with no injuries or breakages, only a couple of wet sails and some big, ear to ear grins.
