Day 1 of the 2016 Wife Husband Championships at Fishing Bay Yacht Club, Deltaville, VA, is in the books.  Amongst the 23 Championship and 9 Challenger boats is the beauty pictured above, MandM sail #6099.  This Taylor-made boat was delivered to the regatta by Flying Scot, Inc., just in time for Mark and Michele to put it together and put it in the water.  They wore shirts that matched their spinnaker and look just great out there!

Rick Klein and the Race Committee set up the first W-L 5 leg race and after just a short postponement we raced in 5-6 MPH winds and had a great race.  For the second race, we sat in 0-2 waiting for the sea breeze to fill in, but it was busy fighting with the off shore wind and it was a whole before we could start the race.  We started the second race in better wind, but half way up the windward leg, the wind shifter 90-100 degrees.  This was great for the 4 boats that went right but not for the rest of the fleet.  The RC abandoned and the wind never settled down enough to get in a second race.  After Day 1 the Championship leaders are Joe and Stacy Brake and the Challenger leaders are Ric and Sharon Bauer.  On to the nightime festivities.
