SEASON’S LAST
AFTERNOON SAIL: WE GOT WIND!
Predictions for the afternoon were for 5-20 knot winds. The flags through the afternoon looked like a
consistent 15-17 knots at the Crows Nest. As we left the harbor at 2pm, there
were white caps clear across the bay.
What a day for the last Tuesday Afternoon sail of the season! We determined the wind was from 240 degrees
and set a line square to this. We saw the wind was slightly stronger outside
and called for course W3. We blew a 5
minute horn for a single start at 3pm and all boats got off to a clean start.
Though there were issues with Regatta Hero for some boats,
the finishing times for all boats were communicated so all boats that finished
were counted.
After months of very light wind and many hours of bobbing
and drifting aimlessly, for the final afternoon sail of the season: we got wind!
Next Tuesday will be the first Tuesday Night Sail of the
season. I encourage each of you to
review the NOR and SIs online (SCYC.ORG>regattas>upcoming regattas>Tuesday
Night Sailing on calendar. Be sure to
read the TIPS on the back of the new course card (colored light green). Most
important, there will be three fleets: Spinnaker (Spinny), Fleet A then Fleet B. There will be a single horn sounded at 5:45
which will be a 5 minute horn for “Spinny”, a 10 minute horn for Fleet A and a
15 minute horn for Fleet B. If you are
planning to sail your boat and compete with us, PLEASE register soon so I can
get a course card to you. It is only $50 or $65 for the whole year!
