CLIP OF THE DAY | DAILY UPDATE | PODCAST
No one has solved the riddle of 2017 Team West Coast Wild Ones’ improbable race, and if they tell you any different, they’re a damn liar. WCWO raced a secret weapon that looked like a floating dinner party venue with a sunshade in the form of a mainsail. In short, an O’Day 27. They placed 4th, beating out everyone but those teams there to compete for 1st place. Behind them was a massive list of faster boats and crews with impressive sailing resumes. When asked how they did it, Chantelle spilled out some excuse about being really good at sailing in storms. (Usually, code for being really bad at weather forecasting.) They were only slightly less surprised than us about the finish, but the facts hold. They took a slow boat and sailed the hell out of it, proving money buys boats but it doesn’t buy cool.

2017 Day 6: Your mama
This episode of the podcast has everything: Team Freeburd recapping their battle with Broderna, the “little less screwed” that pedaling brings a sailing race, and helping their waitress figure out the bill. Race Boss Daniel Evans gives the rundown of the fleet. All of that, plus unbeknownst to the racers we reach out to the parents of Teams Bad Kitty and West Coast Wild Ones in a section we’re calling: What does your mom think? It’s like that time at prom when your mom showed off awkward photos of you, but without their knowing and with the entire internet.
Sit back, sit down with your best buds or pop in your ear buds, this is your Daily Fix.
