Once again a short W/L course with a lot of roundings was set and this time the wind was steady enough to run it twice.
The S/F line was set about 1/4 mile to leeward of mark I while the wind was 8 – 9 kts. steadily from 215°M. Course SIFIF was posted. During the first race the wind started to soften and by the end of the race was ~6 kts and shifting ±10°. A second race was run over the same course, during which the wind softened further and became more variable, 3 – 5 kts, ±20°. This made it impractical to run a planned third, shorter, race.
Next week we start over with the May Sunshine Series.
