CHILLY WIND AND CHOPPY SEAS

While I was away on vacation, Stefan Berlinski was kind enough to, once again, conduct the race for this evening. I understand there was a good breeze which was strong enough to call for course Whiskey 3 and both starts got off without a hitch.

As all boats tacked their way to Schuyler, it was apparent from the race QS track that rounding Schuyler was quite a challenge for this evening as almost all boats needed to throw in an extra tack or two to get around.  The first of A fleet to round Schuyler was Aboriginal followed by Sweetheartr, Perigon, Sagittarius, Flexi Flyer, Aquavit, Good Timin, Interlude, Rosie and Sophie.  Fleet B was led by Zoop then Avatar, Big Mac, Perfect 36, Gold Rush, Kicks, Sailing Pair a Dice, Pacific Spirit and Simpatico.

The wind was consistent enough for all boats to finish and Aboriginal finished first 37:52 then Sweetheart 40:51, Perigon 43:45, Sagittarius 44:58, Flexi Flyer 45:44, Aquavit 47:46, Good Timin’ 48:21, Interlude 50:41, Rosie 53:19 and Sophie 56:05.  Fleet B was led by Zoop 46:31, then Avatar 49:31, Gold Rush 50:34, Perfect 36 53:30,  Pair A Dice 53:51, Big Mac 54:55,  Pacific Spirit 55:58, Kicks 56:37 and Simpatico 58:17.  All times are elapsed an the course distance was 3.60 NM.  It was a chilly wind with choppy seas for this evening’s sail.
