Unusual Attitude.
Unusual Attitude is unexpected and unintended aircraft attitude that can lead to a crash. Fortunately USA 623 did not experience too many unusual attitudes during a summer of Gorge and San Francisco sailing. Team Unusual Attitude is looking forward to finishing 2024 season at the Canadian Nationals.

Rodent.
Although the name sounds sneaky, winning doesn’t go unnoticed. Rob Wissenz and team will be searching for the same form they demonstrated last weekend while winning the Howe Sound regatta.

Raven!
Watch out! They might swoop in when you aren’t expecting it! Fairly new to the local melges scene, Matt Lees and crew are hoping to emulate the success they had at SOAR, where they won the distance race and placed 2nd on the inflow.
