After three less than stellar showings by the wind, this week the conditions were almost ideal. Wind was 14 – 15 kts. from 140 degM with small gusts and lulls of long duration from the same direction. As the wind improved, so did the turnout, fourteen boats hit the line this week. Course SGYF was set (W/L – 3.1 nm).
The Thunderbird start was textbook spectacular, seven boats almost perfectly aligned, the first less than a foot from OCS at the signal. The wind held for the first windward leg but reportedly softened and shifted a little at G in the lee of the bluffs on Indian Island. During the downwind leg the wind softened to 10 kts. but picked up again during the return from Y and finishes were generally close.
Conditions were similar for class B but finishes were much more spread out due to the disparity of boats in the PHRF fleet.
This week we welcomed Etap to our PHRF fleet. She is an ETAP 21 I.
