In this start of the YRA Jr. Waterhouse offshore race we just barely squeezed ourselves into the start line at the boat end! It looks like Ventana was pinching just a bit, so I don't think we fully barged, but I also think they could have put us in a bad spot if they wanted to. Thankfully the Owner of Ventana is really nice! It's always good to race against friends 😅.
