To All – What a wild night to race. Rather nasty and not for the frail or faint-hearted! Sailflow graphic below – In short, it was blowing stink. What the graphic doesn’t tell you is about the 45° wind shifts around mark A up under the Hook, nor the viciousness of going from 5 to 25 mph in a heartbeat during that shift. Is there anybody who raced tonight who didn’t get knocked on their rear end at least three times? Try as we might, we put the winches under water more than once and back-winded the jib in a particularly vicious wind shift. I guess we owe thanks to Howie and Diane for a memorable evening on the river. Big congratulations to John Sheehan in Imagine, winning on corrected time by over 10 minutes. Awesome. And Charlie Brieant walked away in Zoom from the non-spinnaker fleet by more than 6 minutes. Wow. Way to go, Charlie. A personal note. Mike Gunn showed up tonight with a group of six non-sailors and they all got onto boats. What a night to be a newbie! From the chatter on the patio at the end of the racing, everyone had a great time despite the cold and tough racing conditions. We gained a crew, and I can’t wait until he comes back next week. Thanks, Mike! As usual, please let me know of any changes or corrections to the results. Lee Luce Cruising Fleet Secretary
