Ahoy -
10 boats, many dark in color, all but one over 28 feet long, took off on an hour and 45 minute drag race to the shores of America and back. No one took longer than 2 hours and 4 minutes to traverse the 10.6 mile course which began with a one half mile windward starting leg. After turning N6 it was off the wind until the final run from N4 to the finish. To no one's surprise, the current played a roll in the speed of the race, allowing the off wind angles. The wind speed pushed every boat to max hull speed. The eastward leg from R16 to R4 was against the current, lengthening the course over the water by an amount determined by the length of time each boat took to make the run. This should have resulted in help for the faster rated boats. The off wind courses clearly helped the Ketch, Encore, who won the coffee cup, but how the other boats were affected is beyond me. Welcome to the crew of Escape who showed up for their first 2024 race today.
I think everyone would agree that it was great to get a rip-roaring sound race in the mix, as last year there were very few.
See you Thursday,
Roger.
