Detroit, MI

With rainy skies and fickle breeze, only the last three flights of the round robin were completed today at the Toyota International Match Race for the Detroit Cup. Because of this, our team could only sit and watch and hope for the right people to win races to secure us a high enough ranking at the end of the round robin.
