Kennedy races in return Figawi

The return Figawi took place today with SW winds of 20+.  Senator Kennedy was in in the thick of it on his 50' schooner Mya. Mya came in second in its division with a time of 2 hours and 28 minutes over the 19.7 nautical miles. Kennedy did not sail in the first part of the race on Saturday. He didn't miss much. Saturday's wind was light and many boats drifted with the current for a while. Today, with the strong breeze,  the boats sailed on powerful beam reaches at maxed out hull speeds. Figawi race results Correction - In Thursday's post about the Figawi I incorrectly wrote that Kennedy's boat was a 50' yawl. Mya is not a yawl with a main mast and a mizzen in front of the helm. Mya is a schooner with a foremast and a main mast.
