Key West Race Week 2015

Speaking of racing, Team Tangent did an AWESOME job again!!!

Team TANGENT!!!

Years ago (2003?), Gerry Taylor bought a Cape Fear 38. It was delivered to KW and the adventure began. The crew has been pretty steady over the years with various combinations of - Jay Corcoran, Chuck O'Malley, Owen Miller, Tommy Mercer, Jonathan Schlossberg, Mark Reddinger, Chris Bowman, Luigi diCataldo, SuziQ, Mike, Spike, Mark, me... who else? The support crew, Pam and Debbie, have been shopping and cooking and making lunches for all these years.

This year was amazing with 1st Place daily WINS and a 1st in our PHRF class overall!
The final score was 1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 for a total of only 11 pts.
What a team!  CONGRATULATIONS!

COB! Chuck On Board.
