Dandelion weighs in at 4,500 or so and is a "B" boat.

At that, and then some, we have a bad habit of running the A fleet
down, especially in 25+!
BTW, Mike made a few lead changes to help in light air. We've
done much better in those conditions, actually getting some
firsts.
One of them was sheeting the jib far looser and footing more
than pointing. The other was getting a 1/2 chute. Finally,
we've been tensioning the Cunningham to get better mainsail
shape.
Unfortunately, he hasn't brought along our best weapon: Big Red!
... Hey Racers... it's MYLAR time!
