Tuesday Series 8/25/20
Another near perfect night of racing. Mark 8 has become the go to weather mark as most of the summer the winds have been out of the NNW. That was the case last night with the second mark being 2, from there it was a windward finish. Mid-evening mark 3 was added in to make for a longer course. This did not provide as good a windward finish as mark 2 so we dropped mark 3. The last three heats mark 8, after mark 2, was added for more challenging windward work before finishing down wind. Even though it was a downwind finish, it proved to be challenging and provided some exciting finishes.
Light turnout skipper wise as there were only 4 in Gold and 2 in Silver, which dictated a combined start.
Bob K had his maiden voyage with his new boat, which is beautiful. He found it additionally challenging as it sailed completely different that his old boat. Always fun to add new challenges to an already challenging sport.
