Ahoy!
Today's race was all about a lot of wind, start to finish. Whitecaps all across the sound whipped up by a wind in the high teens, at least. There were 11 boats out to start but 3 decided against it...each with their own story, I'm sure. The Course was #5 in reverse which required a brisk dash on a screaming reach to Falmouth R16, then to Green pond R14 and back to VH harbor. Tide was flooding all afternoon and was maybe a detriment as the fleet beat their way back. Although miles ahead, Apres won the cup by just 50 seconds over Silhouette after calculating the ratings effect. Liberty, having only raced 4 in-season races, is undergoing re-evaluation and her rating is in flux until more data is obtained. Hopefully she will become a regular attender and some consistency will ensue.
Next race is Thursday, 5:00 PM Warning.
