Turnout for the first race of the series was disappointing – only six boats. Possibly the rescheduling of the series from Sundays to Saturdays was missed by some.
For once all the wind forecasts were in reasonable agreement – SSE 10 mph with higher gusts. However, it was calm when the CB left the Boat Haven. But by the time the CB reached the middle of the bay a breeze from 115 deg M started to fill in. The course STYF was chosen as close to windward/leeward and to save the time of setting marks. By the start the wind was 7 – 8 kts from 120 deg., favoring the boat end of a very short line. This wind appeared to hold for the first windward leg and rounding of the tower but by the time the fleet was passing the CB downwind it had dropped to 5 – 6 kts. It appeared that in the area of the leeward mark the wind went away completely for a while. After a long struggle a slight patchy breeze veered through south to give boats an increasingly free close reach to the line.
NOTE: Don’t forget the fall series is now at 13:00 on Saturdays.
