"Thin Man" also raced in the EBYRA Wednesday Night Series running mid-May through mid-September. Competition was much tougher than last year, as we were moved up a division to compete against bigger boats including a handful of J/105's. We finished in 4th place out of 8 boats. Nevertheless, we earned the Frank DeSantis Trophy for the best overall performance by a CIYC competitor in our class.
