Nice wind last night for a good sail! We were thinking about a longer race, but decided that the possibility of storms was not worth staying out on the river. Most people decided to go non-spin, so the building winds didn't cause too much trouble.

Congratulations to Janet Schilling and crew on Penniless for a first place finish. Also congrats to Bob Flower and Jib Jallade on Lil' Buddy and to Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato for first place finishes in their classes.

Good fun.

Okay, I'm going to give a try at keeping up with the videos from the racing.

You never know. Maybe I can do it! Here is the video from 5/3.

Remember you can always come watch the video at the Club that evening. All WNR racers are invited. We might even have drink specials on occasion.

Nice night for racing! Turns out that the weatherman was right for one. We had the consistent wind from the south that made it possible to get a nice beat up to the D mark and then back. Everyone was able to get back to the dock before sunset - Plenty of good racing for one night!

Congratulations to Jim Ryan in the Star class for a fast race last night. Also coming in first looking good was Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato in A class and the crew of Ful Dek in B class.

Three races in for our 7-race spring series! Keep your fingers crossed for nice winds for the next 4 races.

I guess it wouldn't be a Wednesday Night if the wind wasn't completely unpredictable. No one had that forecast where the wind would go east and build. I'm glad we could have a race last night, but I sure wish we knew the wind was going to build as the night went on!

Congratulations to Jay Tyson and the crew of Tarris last night for a fast race! Also having a great night was Jeff Staley and crew on Ostinato and Bobby Lippincott in the Stars.

A short race, but at least we were racing. Let's cross our fingers for consistent wind next week!

Yes, Virginia, there is a

Hotline!

410-745-4983

We set up this hotline so that you can call before a race to find out what we have planned. Normally it just says we're racing, but there are some occasions where the weather is iffy. What to do? How will you know if we are racing that evening?

Yes - the hotline!

410-745-4983

I leave a message on there every week (usually by 4pm) letting you know what I'm thinking. If we cancel, I'll announce it on there. The message will not change when it is closer than 45 minutes to the start. At that point, we are on the race course. Up until then, the message is good!

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum pays for and lets us use this number for some reason. They must be nice people over there.

Z isn't just for Zombies

You saw the Z mark on the SI appendix and you heard us talking about it. Now you can see it in the water!

How do you find it? Just plug the location into your GPS. Here is the location:

N 38:46.610

W 76:11.170

We might just use it any day here. Be sure you know where it sits on the course.

Just start with some wind and you can have a great season! The wind last night was fantastic. Well, it was dying fast as the night went on, but at least there was some wind out there. Coming out of the NW meant that we could have a nice long course for the Stars and the PHRF boats got to stretch their legs heading all the way down to Oak Creek.

Congratulations to La Quatrieme on A class for a first place finish. I was great to see her and Ostinato heading to the leeward mark with full sail. Lots of fast sailing!  Also congrats to John Hines in B class and to Bobby Lippincott in the Stars for a 1st for 1st place finishes. Bobby is a new competitor in our Star class this year. It will be fun to see if he can keep the veterans on their toes.

5.7-mile course for the PHRF boats! Let's hope the wind keeps up and we can race.
