Ten racers enjoyed excellent conditions for the Fall race on 10/29. The day
started out with really strong winds out of the WSW. A course was set consisting
of 2 buoys for the start/finish line and 1 buoy 0.6 miles out into the Sound.
The race was a broad reach out to the mark; jibe around the mark; slight upwind
beat to the upwind starting buoy; jibe around the buoy; head back to the outside
buoy and jibe around it again; then finish through the start/finish line, for a
total of 3 jibes and 2.4 miles per heat. Most competitors used their smallest
boards and sails from 5.0 to 6.0 for the first 4 races.
After a break for lunch, the racers returned to the course only to be met with
diminishing winds. Larger boards and 6.5 to 8.0 sails were the call, but we
still had plenty of wind to plane around the course.
A total of 8 heats were held. We had some exhausted and happy racers by the end of the day!
