Race Results 5/26/2020

Tuesday was a beautiful evening with moderate to light air. Social distancing was observed. Winds were out of the North, with lots of shifting and speed changes. It eventually lightened up so that we only were able to get in 8 heats. Off the start the windward mark was #5 to starboard and then starboard around the offset mark between 5 & 4, downwind to the leeward mark which was #2 to port and then around the offset mark to port and then the beat to the finish. The most challenging leg was the windward leg to the finish from #2. There were several choices and they all seemed to work when the wind was right.

The best job was Rick’s taking the east bank route and getting lifted halfway to the mark, without running aground. Silver fleet had its’ share of excitement with Brad having to go wadding to get his disabled boat. Unfortunately, everyone was so concentrated on their racing that no action picture was taken for the record. Both fleets had tie finishes that were determined by most 1st.
