Thank you Tristan and Sheila for organizing the insanity that is the J/30 NAs. I was a little overawed as a first time NA competitor, I have never seen so many J/30s in one place! It was awesome to see EYC full of them too. A huge shout out to Dave Erwin of the Zephyr 2.0 team for getting me to get off my soft butt and get my families boat back into racing shape. I had a great time racing with them and I learned more than I could have possibly imagined. As for being the co-owner of a loaner boat, I could not have asked more of them, they left Mondial in seriously better shape than the shape she was in before the Regatta. I could not have had a better experience as a loaner owner.
