Y'all its getting intense out there!
On yet another gorgeous Wednesday night I was pleased to witness competitive and aggressive starting strategies as every team worked hard to position themselves to hit that first shift! Everyone seems to be getting faster and faster each week and it shows in the scores. So it's time to check in on the competition, because there are plenty of heated battles brewing on the race course. In the Low Cruiser fleet only 3 points separate the leaders, in High Cruiser, 2 points separate the top 3, The melges top 3 are split at 3 point intervals, and the Large Sportboats have 3 boats within 3 points of the lead. In The J24 fleet, second place is only 2 points out, and the top 4 are within 6 points. In High PHRF, the Ol' Bullit Team had tracked down that silly 22 but burned a drop this week. Of course, these scores will change a lot if we add another drop and as the averages update, but keep an eye on your competition, they may be closer than you think! I'm eager to continue to watch as we see more aggressive starts, tighter covers, and riskier crosses coming in the next few weeks. However, be careful not to push it too far... One mistake will send you plummeting down the order when the scores are this tight. And a DSQ, OCS, or DNC can send you even deeper into the fleet. So sail hard, but sail clean; and most importantly, don't miss out on an upcoming race! Thanks to the RC team of Tony Stanley, Marten Kendrick, Ansley, Sophia, Shannon, and Eric for getting us racing on another Wednesday without our friendly neighborhood X mark. Also thanks to our culinary team led by Will Brown who made some phenomenal spaghetti and sausage! That's my first experience with sausage in spaghetti and well it won't be my last. And y'all went above and beyond to bring some delicious banana pudding! Also thanks to all our freelance photographers on the facebook group! Y'all have been killing it recently. Thanks again to all our volunteers! Let me know if there are any corrections! See y'all Wednesday! -Kyle ________________________________________________________________ Comments are closed.
