Wild Winds force Cancellation of Pointscore

Kirk Marcolina

Racing was cancelled on Saturday due to wild westerly winds that were consistently approaching 25 kts with very frequent gusts averaging well over 30 kts (and highest BOM readings of 37 kts).

But the time was not wasted.  Brett Beyer stayed for a Q&A session for a couple of hours on the front deck, where summer was finally here and the wind only occasionally made it far enough into the bay to blow chairs off the deck into the water!

Other than the Q&A session, the BBSP session scheduled for today was not held.  The club has offered to reimburse BBSP participants for the cost of the session that was missed.  If you would like a reimbursement, please let Justin Davey know.  If we do not hear from you this week, we will assume you have waived the reimbursement (effectively making a donation of the reimbursable amount to the club), in which case, thank you!  Note that the missed BBSP session will not be made up.
