Tuesday Evening Series on 8/20/2019
Race results 8/20/19.
Light air (again)!!! The afternoon LOOKED promising, with nice winds of about 4-6 from the South, and temperature of about 83 and partly cloudy. But as we got close to race time- it happened- dying air, more clouds, then eventually NO air. So- we got in 10 Heats.
In GOLD Fleet, David Steger showed the way- after a slow first several heats where he scored 3rds, and even a DNF (a rig tangle with another boat), David started winning races, eventually scoring six 1s out of 10 completed Heats. In second- Rick Lawler, only 3 points after discards behind, then in Third- Mike Wyatt, well back.
In SILVER Fleet, we had (a first!) seven competitors, including new sailor Karen Baker. Karen was doing her first event- and had a couple of respectable races as she learned (in very difficult conditions). Karen will continue to improve, and we welcome her to WRMYC!!
Winning the evening was Jack Nissen, on the strength of 5 wins (AND nothing counted below a 3). In second, Brad Ferrell, who has gotten his new sails acclimated to the rig, and did well- with 4 wins tonight. In Third Place was Ron Sieloff.
