Day 1 - Race 3

As we were trying to fix the broken halyard, the horn sounded for the 3 race. It is a triangle, sausage race with an upwind finish this time. This works against us big time because of our halyard problems. The guys decided to still try their best to complete the race.

Lots of drama in this race fighting to raise spin and jib. Using the spin halyard, the jib wasn't able to raise all the way up resulting to poor upbeat sailing. We were not able to catch up with the fleet but the guys still sail with pride wearing their "We love SMU" Tee to the finishing line.

The team were pretty quiet for the rest of the sail back to the marina. We managed to have a good debrief and all hope for a better race tomorrow. The series may be gone for us but we are still hungry and hopeful for individual races.

We are last and scored 6.
