Tuesday Series 6/9/2020
First race night at our new venue, SPIRE Institute. Nice lake, large enough, but had some weed problems. We are working aggressively on resolving this issue. The NEW Dock is nice, and a third section has been ordered and will be added soon.
Winds were out of the SE, light, and variable. There was some flukeness at Mark 2, the weather mark. We then went down wind to either Mark 8 or the yellow S/F mark then to finish. We varied the leeward mark based on trying to get as many heats in as possible. As it was, we only got 9 heats in.
There is some discussion about moving the marks, as they are too far away and too close to the cattails. This will be a Saturday pre-race project. All in all, it was a good start to racing at SPIRE Institute. Oh, by the way, it was HOT.
