During the day the wind was very light and variable, but by mid afternoon it became warm and sunny and the wind began to strengthen and settle on a steady direction. When the Committee Boat arrived on station to set up the course the wind was 8 -10 kts with a few small, short lulls and gusts. The wind direction was steady at 290°M which made I/T a fair W/L course.
To make good use of the good conditions it was decided to extend the distance, and practice a downwind finish, so course SITIF (41/3 nm..) was set. Just before the start the wind backed a little which caused crowding at the now favored pin end of the line. Right after the start there was an interesting (as viewed from the CB) entanglement between 3 boats and the pin.
About halfway through the race the wind backed to 270° – 280° and built a little to 10 -12 kts. with some lulls to 7 but few gusts. It made the final leg a bit of a reach but still allowed for some tactical sailing.
As this is race 6 there is a throw-out in the standings report, but this year we still have two more races on the schedule so hold back on the celebrations or lamentations.
