You're right, It only takes two. Eight days out of Bermuda, on the way to
the Azores, we sited a 53 ft Ketch. (we were the underdog 43 ft.) The crew
looked at me, I nodded, up went the spinnaker and up went their spinnaker.
Three days later we finish 3 min. ahead at breakwater. ( Yes, it was a good
crew, we had just finished 2nd, with full cruising gear, in the TransAt
Daytona - Bermuda Race.
Any racing is fun! Besides we can just put the "Sounds of Le Mans" CD in
the electric car. Steve Eguina ESP
