Race Day: SW wind 8-19 knots in puffs, with 30 degree oscillations. Course was set just about in the middle of this, so it was a gambler’s choice each race. Again some top-notch sailing, and Boat 3 wins race day for the second time in a row with unflappable, always-in-it, conservative but very consistent sailing. […]

Race Day Monday Conditions: Brisk, blustery and furtive Southerly today, with wind speeds from 6 to 18 knots, and few gusts near the end of the day above 20 knots. This wind was not something to figure out. There were upper-right right hand shifts, in race 2& 3 a long-train runnin’ left hand shift off […]

Notes: W/NW wind, went WNW right at start of first general recall. RC then made a big starting line and moved the weather marks left enough to make a decent upwind leg. Seemed today that the way the course geometry set up, the middle/left was favored on the first beat in all 4 races. Downwind […]

6-12 knot southerly with a big oscillation from SE-S. Teams that found a lane early on the correct big-picture tack did well. The top 3 boats did this very well. It was vital to tune in to the wind, it’s very variable trends, and really “be racing” before the 3 minute gun… really important constantly […]

Confounding and dying NW wind. Teams needed to be hyper-vigilant before start as major windshifts changed the landscape to the tune of 30-50 degrees at the start. Lots of pile-ups and fouls at the pin, and a few people actually did their turns, but a few did not. Good competitive sailing in marginal/poor racing conditions. […]
