Sunday, June 9
The day started out very promising with SW wind right around 10 kts at the start of Race 1. PRO Howard Seymour sent the fleet of 15 boats on a D1 course which turned out to be the right call.
Race two became something of a drifter where TL(almost)E before anyone made it to the windward mark. But the perseverance of the fleet (and a shortened course) paid off as a little breeze filled in allowing nearly everyone to finish.
In the end, Team 701 with Peter Galloway, Paul Steinborn, new member Michael Aingorn and Sara Rakov finished first with three points.
Second was Team 506 with Scott MacLeod on helm. Third went to Jim Crane and team 632.
