Saturday Race Results 8/29

Wind direction was the least of our problems today, being consistently out of the West. Now wind speed was another story. It was from 6 to way too much, with the way too much being 75% of the time. We started with 8 boats and after only 8 heats we had 4 survivors. There were two near sinking’s and multiple hardware issues which caused multiple boats to either DNS or DNF.

Mike’s hatch cover came dislodged and caused him to head for the cattails to save his boat from sinking. The rescue boat was used to retrieve his boat. Bob S’s boat began to take on water and sink when he was head to the dock. It was retrieved just prior to it sinking. One bright spot to the carnage was that there were no hulls pierced. Dave S’s boat was the one boat with no major issues which helped him to take first overall.
