My bad - I meant under 5 hours. Still a great day.

A great day on the ocean. Good winds, big seas and a great opportunity to air it out. We covered the course in less than 4 hours, and with the help of a 12 footer and a 23 knot gust we broke 15+ with main and # 3 jib alone. Good wind on the weather leg let us dial it in and practice shifting gears with a few headsail changes. All in all a great race for the boat and the crew. Would do it again in a New York minute.

Had a great ride aboard Red Sky, lots of fun and double-digit speed wit no spin!

It was a fast,wet,cold & FUN race!! Had to change gears up and down a few times but I think we did OK. I know it was the fastest Duxship I have ever done,I think we spent right around 4.5 hrs on the course.
