J/111 WICKED 2.0 2nd Buzzards

* Congratulations are in order to Doug Curtiss and the entire crew of the J/111 Wicked 2.0 who finished second in the PHRF Division 1 (rating 42) at Buzzards Bay Race Week off Padanarum, MA August 5-7.  The You-Tube reference, courtesy of crew member TJ Scott, is to the last race at on Sunday August 7. Doug Curtiss's J/111 Wicked 2.0 won its class boat-for-boat and on corrected time on a four-legged windward leeward course in 25-32 knots of wind and big seas.  Wicked 2.0 sailed the entire race with a reefed main, a #4 jib (flown also on the downwind legs), and a "chicken" A sail of 118 sq meters. The reference to Ted is helmsman Ted Scott, who along with the expert Wicked crew, did a masterful job of sail selection and boat handling in trying conditions. It was ear-to-ear grins on the race course and afterwards.   YouTube video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVpno850i48
