Tuesday Series, July 7th 2020
Well tonight produced a flashback to Camp Stigwandish and mark 1, the dead and fluky corner. Winds were light and variable in direction and out of the SWW. This made for frustrating sailing getting to and rounding mark 1, which was the windward mark. From there the course took us into open waters and better wind. Leeward marks were around 4 to 8 and then a slight windward leg to the finish. And when wind and time allowed, a longer windward finish was created by rounding mark 7 after mark 4.
Two of the most troublesome land problems were resolved by the purchase of a megaphone to amplify the starting clock sequence and the use or a dry erase board to post the courses. Just if the RD could write more clearly it would even work better. Note: We’re racing this Saturday, with Rick Lawler as the RD. Hope to see your there.
