The days racing started and ended with little to no wind however 4 boats showed up and gave it their best shot. Race one was a slow fiasco with Tim somehow having a zephyr over his boat most of the way. It was like he had a wind finder in place of his wind vane. The rest of the fleet was unable to find enough wind to finish inside of the time limit and had to take DNF’s

Race two had similar wind to race one with Tim again having the wind finder on board. The rest of the fleet finished this race though and got some kind of a score.

Standings for week two:

The next race day is this coming Saturday, October 24.

Cool tempeatures look to prevail, but with any luck we will have some breeze.  last time the temps were cool but the sun was warm.

Last Saturday looked like we were coming out for a nice days sail as we put up masts and prepared to go out to race. Once on the water the wind started picking up, white caps started to appear and by race start it was at the upper end of what we might normally want to go out racing in.

I conducted a normal start sequence and off we went for a brutal two laps on a windward leeward course. Robbie was kind enough to set the windward mark and it was well down river in anticipation of good wind creating the need for a long course. Around the down river bend wind was in the mid 20’s and boats were heeling hard trying to make the mark with San Juans scooping water over the gunwales on a fairly regular basis.

We finished race 1 and called it a day. A wild and tiring day at that, thanks to everyone for coming out and giving it a go. [Read more →]
