Ram Island – 08/30/98
Crew: Dennis McAfee, Bob & RW
Flood - 1145 North HIll, 1108 Napatree, factor 2.0f
Wind: SW / S 4 to 8 kts
Clear, Hazy, 85
Flood: Race Point 1140
We got a good start for the beat to Race Point, current not a great factor. We sailed out past NH a good distance prior to tacking for the point.
Set the spinnaker at Race Point and hugged the shore down the backside. I lost count of the jibes for current avoidance as Dennis did a great job with the pole. We were pushing our luck a few times, and got close to some swimmers along Isabella Beach.
Beat and reach to the finish. Elapsed Time: 373 minutes
3rd / 8 in class. Our first RI 'Round Island' Race with a spinnaker & our first finish in the money.

Ebb began shortly after the start. Very strong ebb at Lord’s & Napatree. We should have considered the beach east of Napatree point then the CT shore, or tried tucking inside between Cans 7 & 9 before crossing. Seth steered for most of the race, all windward legs.
