As a top-level helmswoman in the class, she was confident that her team\u2019s boatspeed would be the tool they\u2019d use to break a tie going into the final race at the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series in Annapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terhune felt they\u2019d been fast upwind all weekend and today was no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was hard to go fast upwind,\u201d says Muller-Terhune, whose crew included her husband Alan, Olympian Dave Hughes, and Colin Kirby. \u201cMaybe we were too tight on the rig compared to other boats, but when the boat felt the fastest and highest it was the most difficult to drive. We were constantly adjusting the sails, communicating and making little adjustments, which was definitely key. It was just a really fun group. We had a great practice day on Thursday and let it roll from there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The J\/70s were racing on the regatta\u2019s busiest racecourse, which included the J\/88s, and the regatta\u2019s two biggest classes\u2014the J\/80s and J\/105. That, combined with an atypical breeze direction and the usual strong current, made <em>Casting Couch\u2019s<\/em> win all the more impressive. \u201cThat sort of takes the middle of the course out of play, but sailing to leeward of the pack because of the current and the wind direction ended up being pretty advantageous for the most part. It was an interesting and complicated weekend for sure,\u201d Muller-Terhune says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The win is also a nod to the strength of the Annapolis area racing scene, and several fleets that have robust local participation. Among them is the Annapolis, Fleet 5 Harbor 20 fleet, 18 of which made their debut at the regatta. A majority of the 30-boat fleet that sails the local Wednesday night series turned out to race the weekend series. Ed Holt, owner of <em>Trinity<\/em>, and his grandson, Tyler Russell, won the class with a perfect scoreline on the final day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/05052024_SWRS_Annapolis-1169-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Harbor 20 fleet\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/05052024_SWRS_Annapolis-1169-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/05052024_SWRS_Annapolis-1169-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/05052024_SWRS_Annapolis-1169-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/05052024_SWRS_Annapolis-1169-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sailingworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/05052024_SWRS_Annapolis-1169.jpg 1620w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">The Harbor 20 fleet gets underway at the Helly Hansen Sailing World Regatta Series in Annapolis.<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Walter Cooper<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<p>Fleet 5\u2019s Bell Carty finished third with <em>Puffin <\/em>but also earned the regatta\u2019s sportsmanship award for her work as fleet captain and her team\u2019s efforts to grow and join the regatta series weekend. \u201cWe don\u2019t do a lot of multiple-day events,\u201d Carty says.
