Ahoy!
7 boats raced course #1 with a windward starting leg in reverse. 13 knots and fair currents made for some fast times and the fleet finished in good order without any breakdowns. The leg from West Chop to Nun 6 which was dead on the wind gave opportunities to the boats that know the drill. No one was complaining about the conditions which were bright and sunny, blue water and skies with room temperatures over the entire course.
Liberty won the cup. Dominic Maxwell has been putting in some time on the Morris 36 and the improving results are now beginning to show.
Kick off pot luck is 6:00 PM at the VHYC and the season's opener is Thursday, 5:00 PM warning.

Ahoy Roger!
It was great to be back out on the water with everyone this afternoon for a beautiful day of racing. We had some sporty conditions- winds were around 13 kts with gusts into the low 20s out of the SSW. Seven boats made their way to the line for a 2PM start and we ran Course 1 in reverse with an upwind start to Buoy A. It was a perfect day for tuning up and working out some early-season kinks (my apologies for the confusion at the first Buoy A rounding, and thanks for everyone’s patience!) The results were as follows:
Silhouette - 3:18:44
Artful Dodger - 3:18:58
Tamu - 3:22:52
Easy Rider - 3:23:37
Bandit - 3:26:30
Liberty - 3:27:41
Gloria - 3:30:25
Thanks everyone for a great afternoon on the water- looking forward to seeing you all and hopefully some more boats out for the next one!
Take care,
Rawson
