Tuesday 8/18 Race Results
Another near perfect SPIRE race night. Winds were stiff at 6-10 out of the NWW. Our default course for these winds has become windward to mark 8 (P), downwind to mark 2 (P), a close reach to mark 3 (P) and then a windward finish. The last two heats an additional sausage loop was added: from mark 3 to mark G (P), then back downwind to mark 3 (P) and then a windward finish.
As the evening progressed and the winds lightened, the last windward leg to the finish became very fluky. A side to SPIRE pond we’ve not seen before that added an additional challenge for an already competitive evening of racing.
