Textbook Gybe

By Lou Sandoval -


One of our "many" textbook Gybes ( big wink) during the 103rd Running of the Race to Mackinac.  This one was done in 16-18kts of breeze on a heading of 54 degrees just shy of Point Betsie.  Based on the camera record it was Sunday evening 18:53 hours on 7/17/11 just before the mother of all storms.  
Good teamwork everyone!  Go Jason and Marty!  Go Smiley!!
