Slow Sprints Go 180 Degrees
Kirk Marcolina
A gloomy, light wind day made things difficult for the fleet last Saturday. The best wind of the day was for the first Radial-only race, which Evie Saunders won. The 2nd race was shortened as the wind was dying and changing 180 degrees towards the east. After a third race involving some reaching up to the top mark, the race committee (along with the entire fleet on the water!) agreed it was time to pack it in and paddle back to shore. Thanks to the race management team of PRO James Tudball, COTD Candice Cushway, and CCO Jack Sywak for their perseverance and valiant attempt to run sprints in some trying conditions.
Here’s to hoping that this Saturday brings better winds and sunny skies.
