Tuesday Evening Series on 7/30/2019
Tuesday 7/30/19
A tough night!! At least a calm, quiet night- very little wind. Winds were only around 2- 3 MPH, generally from the East to Northeast, with temps in the low 80's, and partly cloudy skies. SD Rick Lawler ran races that typically were (either) S/F- turn mark- 3- 4- Finish, or sometimes S/F - 5- 4- Finish. He even ran ONE race that was S/F - turn mark, 3- 1- Finish, a long frustrating one!
Rick called it a night after six races, so we got ONE Discard.
At the end, Mike Wyatt finished in first/ Gold Fleet, just 3 points ahead of David Steger; in third was Rick Lawler.
In Silver Fleet, Guest Jim Green (Bob Green's younger brother, from Florida) sailing Bob's old boat, won with just 5 points in the six Heats after discards, ahead of Dan Jarold, who will score a "1" for the Series. Bob Kalman finished in 2nd- followed by Steve Winfield just a point behind. Congratulations to all on doing well on a tough night.
Following the racing, the club presented Steve Winfield with the Third Place/ Silver Fleet Saturday Spring Series cup - his first award for RC sailing. Steve could not be at the WRMYC Picnic this past Saturday, when awards were presented. Again, Congratulations!!
