Saturday Series 9/12/20

One of the more perfect sailing days. Winds out of the S with some oscillation to the West, at 4-6 with an occasional gust. Start mark was moved to make the line more perpendicular. Mark 1 (P) was the windward mark and was very tricky to approach and round as this is the corner that is leeward of the south shore and some trees. Once round this mark it was close hauled to mark 2 (P), straight down wind to mark 7 (P) and then a tricky windward finish which lead to multiple close finishes.

Mike encountered continued signal problems, which unfortunately caused him to DNF on the first heat. He raced to Rick’s van to retrieve hull #27, which he used to finish the day with a third. Dan had a sheet servo problem after the fourth heat and was unable to race the rest of the day. Dave and Brad continued their dominance in Gold and Silver respectively with first place finishes overall. Bob G filled in for Tom M as RD.

It was one of our larger turnouts with 6 in Gold and 4 in Silver and with the strong winds we were able to get in all 12 heats.
