Our neighbor regularly sails with the owner of a J 70.
They needed a third and fourth crew so Aug and I got a shot at racing a serious performance boat.
We helped step the mast yesterday and Jerry and Jim showed us how to properly tension the carbon spar.
Today the hull was wet sanded and a couple hours ahead of the start, we craned the boat in.
This evening it was all sailing with ideal conditions (12 - 15 kt wind) and 8 boats racing.
Here some photos:
