Tuesday Evening Series on 10/15/2019
Tuesday Oct 15 Report:
What started out as GREAT wind, and ideal sailing….well- ended with drifting conditions as the sunlight went away. Winds before racing were in the 10-12 MPH range from the SE- ideal for great beats and fast reaches. But as the evening got underway- the wind went away - gradually at first, but by Heat 4 or so was a flatwater drifter.
In GOLD, Mike Wyatt, returning after missing the last 4 events or so, lucked out, winning by a single point over Bob Green. In Third- just ONE more point back was David Steger. Notable finishes by Jim Hogan meant that he placed a close fourth.
In SILVER- it was Jack Nissen, beating Brad Ferrell, again by a single point. In Third- Ron Sieloff sailing a borrowed #427 of Rick Lawler’s. Bob Kalman had some pretty good races, and has really come a long way for a first season racing.
