This week we had all the wind we needed for a good race, plus some extra. While setting the course the wind direction was 285 degM, speed in the mid to high teens, so the line was set between Y and T square to the wind, course SYTF. At the start the wind backed to 260 deg, initially favoring those who tacked after the start and took the right side of the course into the beach. The wind kept oscillating until finally settling on 270 for a while and lulling to 10 kts. This did not last long and the fleet rounded the tower with plenty of wind for a change.
The sea state was remarkably calm, the wind not been blowing long enough to build whitecaps. Even so boats were faced with decisions not made in a while: fly the kite or no? Lose time reefing for the last mile? By the end of the race the wind at the CB was hovering around 20 and gusts over 25 kts were seen. Ironically the wind was square with the S/F line again for the finishers.
