Episode 41 Astra's First Race

In this episode of The Rogue Rigger I take you on along for our first race on the Farr 400 "ASTRA." This was a great opportunity to finally line up next to other boats. It was a good first race, we learned a bunch more about the boat and we keep making improvements on crew work. Unfortunately in the second race we had a great start, a great first beat only to have another boat loose control at the offset mark. Their bow sprit deflected off our backstay and ripped our aft stanchion and lifelines off the boat. Weekend ender for sure! Team ASTRA will be back out on the water training next weekend! Thank you as always to Simon for the opportunity to work and sail on ASTRA!
