Finished Solo Mac day faster
27 June 2017 | Mackinac Island
I finished the Solo Mac Monday afternoon in my quickest time ever. Normally it would take another 24 hours. The cruising gear, like large anchor up front and solar arch in the back, hinder my boat speed in certain conditions. It was a hard race, and there were several boats with equipment failures. One boat lost its propeller, one lost its rudder, one lost auto pilot, plus some other major hardware failures. This was my shakedown cruise, and everything worked perfectly, so that is good news.
Right now it appears I was third, about 13 minutes out of second place.
