Busy sailing weekend ahead The series that was too fun to stop continues Friday. The six race White Cap Series had a possible make up race scheduled for this Friday. All six races were run, the series scored and completed, but no one could think of a reason not to have a race this Friday (May 17). Look for a dock start.
Over 20 multihulls, from hot little Weta tri's to the Formula 40, DRAGON, are scheduled to be racing in PT this weekend. A number of them are looking for crew for a Protection Island race on Saturday, and in-shore bay races on Sunday. The skipper's meeting will be at 8 AM on Saturday under the marina facing porch by the Shanghai and Pt Hudson Cafe. If you'd like to crew, that's where you should be, too. |
Everyone had so much fun during the regular Spring Whitecap series there was demand that we use the make-up date for another race, so we obliged. The wind was very variable shifting between 290 and 330 degrees at the dock, strength variable 6 – 12 kts. It appeared to be different elsewhere on the course. We set course SMTMF. It proved very challenging in the variable wind, which moderated when the rain started. Also it was at the height of the flood. Under the conditions the course was a bit long but all boats finished within the time limit, the tail ender with two minutes to spare. Pegasus gave up a commanding lead and resigned after not keeping the B mark to shoreward. Congratulations to Dorado for another great performance. Thanks, Piper, for the great tip. Eye candy indeed.

If you’re interested in what’s happening in the yard at PT’s Boat Haven, the PT Shipwrights Co-op blog is a good place to start. As well, last week the original engine was removed from the I.F. Mariner via crane and the new engine prepared for installation. A runway was rigged up in order to smoothly remove and install the engines in and out of the engine room. Next the shipwrights will seal up the engine room. |
