Team Seacats

All the teams got away clear in a light air spinnaker start off the beach this morning in Cocoa Beach. SailMax I seemed to have a little more trouble than SailMax II getting out to the deeper water required to reach the three mile clearance course set up by NASA. We were lucky to be allowed within that range, as Chuck said it had been discussed that the teams were to be held to a five mile clearance. Shortly after the start, one boat flipped over on its side and remained in that position for about five minutes. I’m certain that the trouble was due to having so much water in the spinnaker. I can’t be sure, but it looked like Team St. Louis Cats. Speaking of lengthy capsizes: Team Velocity is fine after theirs yesterday. There was nothing broken and they still made it in with a great time, considering.
