"3. Our smallest kite (the A-7) worked really well on the reach back, although it collapsed a bunch of times. If we'd set it at the island, instead of the big one, we probably wouldn't have needed to do any jib reaching. "4. We managed the windy jibe at the bridge and the run to the fi nish with the big kite, even though we were way overpowered in the puffs. That luck ran out after we finished and jibed to head to Richmond — we broached big-time and had to drop the kite to get back on our feet. (Yes, it shrimped, and was a mess to get back on board.)" In a year when packing your boat full of unrelated crewmembers is problematic, doublehanded racing is a welcome alternative. — latitude/chris BAMA DOUBLEHANDED FARALLONES, 9/19 MONOHULL 1 — 1) Timber Wolf, Farr 38, Dave Hodges/John Kernot; 2) Waterworks, Soverel 33, David Bennett/Nathan Bossett; 3) Favonius, Dehler 46, Gregory Dorn/Cam Tuttle.
