The CB left the Boat Haven with a steady 5 kt. NWesterly, but once outside the breakwater the sea surface showed that the wind fanned out, then disappeared about 3/4 of the way across the bay. A temporary leeward mark was set downwind of “I” and close to the wind-line in the hope that the wind would fill more of the bay later (it did). As the course was short and the wind uncertain, a two lap course was set (SILF2, 2¾ nm.).
By now the wind was filling the outer bay, so advantage was taken to satisfy the PHRF fleet’s expressed boredom with short windward/leeward courses and their desire for longer legs. Course SILCLF, 3⅓ nm. was set. The 450º rounding on the return to “L” was unusual but having the PHRF fleet rounding to starboard meeting the T-birds rounding to port would have led to an interesting evening interpreting the right of way rules at a mark.
At the start the wind had settled in at a solid 5 kts. Most of the fleet noticed that it had shifted a little to favor the CB end of the line but there was minimal barging. The wind continued to build and, by the end of the first lap, had reached 7½ kts. in the same direction, leading to second lap times about 20% faster than the first. Both the T-birds and the leading PHRF boats arrived at “L” at the same time but without apparent incident. All the T-birds and the first three PHRF boats finished in less than one hour. After the leading boats had finished the wind built to 10+ kts. but the remaining boats still needed another 10 – 20 minutes to fetch the finish.
This week we welcomed Deja Vu (Cat 30TR) to our merry (mostly) band.
