I'm a little behind in a post but this past Thursday race at DIYC was a new experience for me. We were ready around the start time and making our way for the line, when a collision was about to take place. As we were making our approach just before the horn, we were boxed in by a boat to windward and leeward, just about then another boat was running the line and we had no where to go. Our anchor hit their stern rail, bending it out of shape and even ripping a winch off their deck. Now this boat we hit is in need of some repairs and for a winch to be ripped off the deck, I wonder how solid she is.
Never the less, the race was over for us and we made out way back to the club so the owners could sort out the work and damage. I really have not had much luck lately with the Thursday races but I hope I can get a good one in soon.
