It"s Official, KATHLEEN 1- SILENT MAID 1 !

After leading most of the race SILENT MAID was narrowly beaten by KATHLEEN in the final leg of the Padanaram Rendezvous race today. Tim Fallon, after a slow start, that saw the MAID leading by almost a third of a mile at one point, persevered and came from behind due to a mix up at one of the last marks. It appears that the MAID'S crew was a little confused about whether they should pass one marker to Port or to Starboard and by the time they had everything figured out KATHLEEN sailed by. The two boats will now head further North to meet each other for a third time. It seems that the MAID  does quite well in light air and that KATHLEEN does better in heavier air, we shall see in race number 3 who prevails and what kind of wind and sea conditions arise.
