Race Results Saturday 5/30/2020
Well, Kiwanis Rec Park showed its most frustrating side. With moderate to light winds, it should have been a reasonable sailing day. Winds were mostly out of the WSW but were also out of the W, NW and N, with occasional dead spots, total wind shifts and swirling. Auto tacks were very frequent, along with strong wind gusts. This presented challenging race conditions for everyone, except Rick L. in gold fleet, who found the sweet spot on all but two races, had 8 first place finishes and finished 1st overall. Well done Rick!
Silver fleet has a new competitor in Jon Robert Hernandez, Rick L's grandson, who finished 2nd overall on his first race of the season!
This kind of race conditions will make the move to SPIRE INSTITUTE all that much sweeter. Watch our club webpage or Facebook, as docks and marks will be installed this Monday and hope to race there either next Tuesday or Saturday.
