Spring Series is done, well done! June 29, 2009

If any of you think that you have a shot at taking the Spring Series away from the double-hand team of Muller-O’Daniel then you are too late. This crew has managed to sneak by everyone winning 7 of 7 races this season. Seven out of Seven! 7:7! They only needed 6 to qualify. So as I said, this one is done. Now they are on the march to win the year, they have a huge leg up. There is no doubt double-handing has its advantages and will continue to work for them through the summer doldrums.

This past Sunday’s race I was prepared to stop this streak when the wind shifted 90 degrees and started fading during the sequence and left Muller-O’Daniel sitting on the pin end in the perfect position for the start. How do they do that!?! Then the wind shifts back about 100 yards after the start so they can lay the weather mark as everyon can now but they are bow out and getting the first puffs. More on this in a follow on article. (See “What’s the rule?”)
