NAASA Race Weekend #1 is in the books
We had some great racing – Team Surf Club was on another level, followed closely by Lars and Olin who are looking ready for the Worlds – but after that the scoring was really tight for the rest of the fleet with only 10 points separating 3rd and 9th – and a 3 way tie in there for good measure
