One other cool thing that happened last night was that the crew on California Girl towed in what seemed like just about every racing dinghy on the lake. The wind had died down to the point where most of the dighy racers had deployed paddles for the trip back to the dock. California Girl was one of a handful of J24′s that broke out the motors for the ride back to the dock.

Cali Girl’s crew was able to rollup their sails on the foredeck without falling off or letting the sails dip into the water while the skipper drove the boat around towing in becalmed small boat racers. They offered us a tow as well, since we had our hands too preoccupied with beers to break out our own motor. We declined since we weren’t in a hurry to end our night of sweet victory.

Good show by Cali Girl. We continue to see great sportsmanship in our J24 racing community.
