Ahoy!
15 boats raced the triangle with a windward starting leg in 10 knots of breeze on smooth waters. The rising tide helped from West Chop to East but hit the boats rounding 23a with a foul current flowing out of the harbor. Diminishing winds made for a long close-to-the-wind beat back to the finish at N6, but a lot of the boats made it on one tack. Both Sonars sailed by VHYC sailors performed better than usual and finished 1st and 2nd. Maitland was 3rd. A good attendance at the post race gathering and dinner at the VHYC snack bar made for a chance to review the race and prospects for the season.
Light winds are predicted for Sunday's 2 PM race, but mostly, the winds this June have been plentiful.
Note that the results are slightly different than those announced at the club because I forgot the 1/2 mile windward starting leg when entering the race mileage.
All the best, Roger.
Hi Roger, is it possible for you to include results on the write up on the blog or are they only via email?
