LOL.
What I'm hoping for in the next race is someone else who's also gunning for last place, so we can duke it out for lanterne rouge.
As for DNS, I like how we jab about how these boats never sink. In 48 North last year, they had the series of pictures from one of the J-24 finals in Puget Sound. It showed a very nice J-24 broach, fill the cockpit with water, then the cabin, and the last shot was of the crew scrambled on top of a corner of the transom as she went down in 300 feet of water. Everyone was picked up immediately, so no real harm to the crew, but the boat was DNS.
Yep, that's what I'm looking forward to.

p.s., had another excellent sail this evening on our C&C 27, but we're still making it up to our daughter for the race, so I was condemned to sailing the boat perfectly flat into a strong close reach wind... Parents pay for transgressions.
