The weather forecast models for race day were in unusual agreement – wind 6 kts increasing to 7 at 16:00 (vast overestimate) – wind direction SE ish at 11:00 backing to N ish by 16:00 (unfortunately, accurate) – occasional light showers (the occasion was most of the regatta and they were not light).
This year the Race Committee was shorthanded so all eight boats were started together as one PHRF class. All courses were short due to the light winds but, except for race 1, met the target of about half an hour for the first boat to finish.
The wind died for a while during the first race but from then on slowly increased throughout the regatta but rarely exceeded 5 kts.. As there was no dedicated mark boat driver to move marks during a race there were long delays between races to rotate the course (in one case, twice) due to the backing wind. When the course was realigned it was also extended to keep the races about 30 minutes long as the wind slowly increased.
The delays eliminated the possibility of a sixth race to generate a throwout. However, a scan of the standings indicates that, even though some boat’s point totals were close, consistency of placement over five races was such that it was unlikely that there would have been more than one or two reversals of adjacent positions.
In spite of the frustrating, and uncomfortable, conditions the regatta was an excellent test of light, and shifting, air sailing skills and tactics.
