S/V Pinnacle
S/V Pinnacle, a Tartan 4100, leaving Buzzards Bay at the start of the 2023 Marion Bermuda Race. You can just make out my gray beard fiddling with the mainsail trim if you squint hard.

Gorgeous. How did the race go? Need play by play.
Squall on the first night and we trashed our heavy #1 before I could get it pulled down. Then we spent nearly the rest of the race in light to moderate breeze going mostly upwind and having to do endless sail changes between the light #1 and the #3 since we no longer had the heavier #1 that we needed for those conditions. Back still hurts.
Sorry about your back, but hey, at least you have a story to tell. =)
