We started with some light air out of the North, but we didn't even get marks set before a big breeze filled in from the SE making for some quick movement to get the races off on time. Quick pick up the marks and head to the harbor for an upwind leg to Gibson Flats. We just barely got on station as the sequence started.
Plenty of wind for the start and the race. We started with about 12 knots and it held reasonably constant over the race. As the sun set, it pulled some of the wind out, but we still had plenty to finish everyone. With a course distance just over 5 miles and 6 legs to the courses for PHRF, there was plenty of activity. Not bad for the first race of the year.
2015 seems to be bringing out new boats for the PHRF classes. We had two more boats in A this week and we anticipate a couple more in B class as the season goes on. It's good to see lots of competition in A class.
Congratulations to the Inn at Perry Cabin and the crew on Starbright. It appears the conditions were just right for her this Wednesday. Lots of reaching may make this a formidable boat. Also looking good was Ful Dek and her crew making a great recovery after a shaky start and Lil' Buddy who seemed to lead form wire to wire.
See all the results >HERE<
Next week more boats and more fun!
