A perfect day for racing... (11/11/12)

...and a perfect score to go with it! Steady winds from the south created predictable conditions and consistent results, which was a big change compared with last week. Jeff and Dave L. rejoined the fleet for the second day of racing, and Dennis helped out in the race committee boat with marks, photos and scoring.

Wind: S 5-12 knots
Air temp: 66°F

A River Runs Through It (11/4/12)

The first day of frostbite racing for the 2012-2013 season started a little late on Sunday while folks got their boats and rigs down to the dock. Ray P. brought his new (well, new to him) Sunfish to join the fleet, and Beth rejoined us after several years of absence due to grad school.

A river of light air ran down the course for the entirety of Sunday's racing, leaving skippers searching for the best wind and the favored tack. Boats on a solid layline one minute would be in irons the text.

Wind N-NW 4-10 knots
Air temp: 55° F
Wind chill: 55° F
Water temp: 57° F

June 13 results - Mild and Misty

Three sailors arrived this evening to chase around the marks. Apparently the water temperature was warmer than the air temperature. Light misty rain was fresh and pleasant.

Racing got started around 7PM this evening. Race committee ran 5 races. (TWGWT) Short courses. Wind from the South… not too strong, and easing as the evening went on.
