May Race

May 15, Mirlo Beach

Randy Dunn's report:

It blew 5.0 to 6.0 all morning. But when we put the race buoy out about lunch time, the wind died.

The first two heat were planing on 9.0 sails. By the end of the second heat we were getting overpowered, so we switched to 5.5 to 6.5 sails and ran two more heats.

The last two heats were incredible - very fast, getting very overpowered. Lot of spectacular wipeouts. It was the most fun I've ever had racing. In a practice run I hit the fastest speed I've ever recorded with my GPS - 31.1 mph.

We have a new series leader in the women's division - Michelle Moorman.
