SMURF results from 6/3


In the SMURF, Ostinato was able to hold on to her lead of 3 seconds, but big changes in the B class. Moonraker seems to have found her point of sail coming in a whopping 4 minutes in the lead corrected!

Congratulations to everyone who came out and braved the storm warnings. Turned out to be nothing.

People often ask what site I use for storm prediction. My choice is http://www.intellicast.com/, but they are all good.

Results from 6/3

What's with this stormy weather? Last week was cancelled for storms and this week was just cold and wet. At least there was wind!

Congratulations to Ostinato for a fast race. She managed to stay ahead and correct just 3 seconds over Redbeard racing non-spin behind her. Lots of fast sailing in B class too with Ful Dek coming in 1st again. Measuring in at 7.126 nm, this was our longest course. That's as long as the Jimmy Wilson race.

The Star class has lots of interesting shifts in the wind and the order on the short course. Congratulations to Mike Keene and John Jenkins for a fast race.

Mark Boat 2015 - creative solutions needed

Hi sailors and friends!

A hearty thanks to the few of you who have proactively signed up for mark boat duty on our sign-up page (link below).

Bowie Rose, long-standing supporter of WNR, is taking some time away from these duties and will not be the boat and mark boat captain as he has in the past.

This means that for WNR mark boat duty, we need crew who can operate loaner boats (CBMM has graciously offered the use of a carolina skiff, and the MYRC Junior Sail Program has options), or who have access to / can provide a powerboat.

Please help us think of a way to ensure our WNR series keeps thriving! Send your thoughts and creative suggestions to me at sailinggal71@gmail.com.

PS - We have 2 crew ready & willing for this Weds June 3. They just need a boat/driver!
