Pictou Racing
Hi
Rick,
Here are a few pictures of some Saturday racing in Pictou N.S. Oh Chute (Ian Wallis) and Mac-a-tack on a close reach out the harbour. Three of us (the third boat is a Tanzer 26, Titan - Bill Stright) raced to a mark about 3 miles out. We all rounded the mark within a boat length of each other. Great race until the wind piped up to 15+. A bad sail change ended our chances of a top 3 finish. The helmsman on my boat, Mac-a-tack, is my 14 year old son Ryan. He does a great job on the helm when we are shorthanded and I need to fly the chute.
Thanks,
Shaun MacDonald
