The short version is that 14 boats came out, the wind didn’t, the course was too long and no boats finished in time. So we will try again with the make-up race next Friday.
Actually, of course, the details are more complicated (and maybe interesting?). All the wind forecasts were for 4 – 6 kts. from the South, all the reports showed a Northerly 6 -8 kts. gusting over 10 and tending to be strongest outside the bay. A heavy rain shower came through about 4 pm and reduced the wind strength considerably though maintaining its direction.
The Race Committee loaded the committee boat with the pin and a single tet. The intention was to use ‘M’ or ‘B’ as one end of the course and set the tet south of that, at a suitable distance according to the wind we discovered, to be the other end of a windward/leeward course. So much for the plan. While leaving the Boat Haven the engine on the committee boat (a big Chevy V8 with 4 barrel carb) began to misbehave necessitating a return.
The ever flexible Race Committee reverted to a dock start. While setting up, the wind at the dock was 2 kts or less from the North, hardly enough for an orderly start. There appeared to be more wind to the North and East and we were about to set a course of SBF3 when at 5:50 pm. the Northerly built to 4 kts, gusting over 6. It continued steadily and the emissions at the mill showed a northerly too so we set SBDYDF, 3.5 nm.
Unfortunately, as all the RC’s concentration was focused on the clock, horn and flags, it failed to notice the wind fading during the start sequence and instead of postponing and then changing the course, continued the sequence to the end. It took the Thunderbirds over 10 minutes to cross the start line.
Boats that were able to work their way to the north and east found some wind and were able to round ‘B’ quite smartly. Staying well away from shore was the secret on re-entering the bay. In spite of frustratingly weak and variable conditions, by diligently following the cats-paws many boats rounded ‘Y’ and the leaders were headed for ‘D’ when the wind went away completely about forty minutes before time expired.
Congratulations to Sirocco for placing second in her final series to put a cap on an outstanding career with us. The celebration was great too.
Don’t forget the Round Protection Island Race next Saturday! Our Multihull Association friends will be here all weekend for some exciting racing.
