Final results ALIR 2011

We got 2nd place in Div5 behind the Jeanneau44. Congrats to them for pulling away during the first night! I was sure we had them covered with the rest of the fleet that was further offshore than us and sliding steadily back, but somehow they managed to escape.. They must have been one of 4 boats that we saw ahead of us on the way to Plum Gut. Since they managed to get earlier through the Gut they had less current through there and also less current at the finish, which gave them 45min corrected time ahead of us.
Also, only 5 boats of the whole race were ahead of us on corrected time, so that's pretty good too. Among others we were able to hold ourselves pretty good against a First 36.7 that had a lot of trouble catching us and only barely passed us after Montauk finishing 2nd in their division, just ahead of us.
Good race, everybody, and as usual I enjoyed this very much!!
