Patience Nets the Lane

Mark This: Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta Regatta Mark HighlightsWhen entering a leeward mark with a pack of boats, large or small, some of us have the tendency to drive straight into the wall with our eyes closed. Not this guy. Paul McLaughlin, of Marblehead, Mass., in Etchells 1061, keeps himself from getting derailed to the outside of the pinwheel; nice move that gets him in and out of the mark with a nice, open lane.
