In her first race gusto got off to a bad start.
Then the wind went light which doesn't favor heavy displacement.
We looked around and we were in last place. Then the leaders
sailed into a hole, we saw it and tacked over to the Vinalhaven
shore never losing the breeze. Gusto sailed right around the
entire fleet and in this painting she's the most hated yacht
on Penobscot Bay, but by God her crew are laughing!
