Saturday Series Race Results – 7/4/20

Another spectacular day for racing. Spire pond is proving to be an exceptional venue. We have yet to have bad conditions as we have had at our other venues. I would like to restate the Covid-19 rules we are following:

- Spire Covid-19 form is completed for each participant along with a temperature check. - Masks are required when closer than 6 feet to another individual. - You are allowed to walk the shoreline as long as you are masked or stay apart. - You must wear a mask when launching/retrieving a boat. We have found these rules to be within established guidelines and yet allow us to race safely and comfortably. We encourage you to come see for yourself how safe and nice Spire pond racing is.

We had five skippers in both Gold and Silver fleets and were able to finish 12 heats. Today’s winds were out of the N and for the first three races were moderate to light. We ran a short course of S/F to windward mark 8, downwind to mark 1 and then windward to finish. As the wind began to build, we ran a longer course of S/F windward to X mark to mark 7, down wind to mark 1, to mark 2 and then windward to finish. For the last race a second windward leg was added up to X mark, mark 7 and then a down wind finish. It was a very nice day to be a Soling skipper.
