The Hayseed IV travels in Mahone Bay before Chester Race Week action on Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023. - Ryan TaplinLife in the Victoria Park Homeless Encampment | SaltWireIt took hours to figure out a way to hoist the mainsail with a new halyard that had too much wire spliced onto the rope.
Sailors aboard the Hayseed IV compete in the Pursuit 1 category during Chester Race Week action on Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023. - Ryan TaplinWe’re competing in a series of pursuit races where Hayseed starts last and must catch the other seven boats in our class to win. It’s a complicated math game, but basically the boats are all assessed at how fast they should be able to sail and leave the start line in that order.
“Coming fourth on Hayseed is absolutely fine,” Doane said. “It’s a great experience, and actually, the snafus we had today are great opportunities to learn more about how the boat works.” “I can see my wind speed and my boat speed,” Prest said. “So, I normally know how fast the boat should be going if it’s blowing 10 knots. And if we’re not we’re doing something wrong.”
