Wednesday Night Series Race 1 - 5

Results Race ( 1 - 5 )

Good news from our Culinary Specialist, Will Brown:
Allllllllrighty then sailors.
The fair winds of last night brings the following news: next Wednesday (weather permitting) we will finally have a dinner after sailing! I will be grilling hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and dessert (no salad) at the junior area near the RC docks. We chose this location because there is power and its proximity to the docks and bath house on the hill. Friendly reminder: clubhouse is still closed off until the repairs are completed.
I'm excited to finally get everyone together so make sure word spreads to all the boats and crews.      -Will
Another day and another heavy air race, if you are not getting good at it, you haven’t been sailing enough.    This was definitely a good night for those heavier boats and many with reefed mainsails.  In the High PHRF fleet, Strega really strutted her stuff tonight and showed these were perfect conditions for the “Witch”.   In the J-24 fleet only one boat, Althea, flew her spinnaker.   While in the Mid PHRF fleet, the battle between the red boats ended with Breakaway taking the top spot.  Uncle! Uncle! had her best race tonight, taking a 3rd in the biggest one-design fleet.
 
It was not all fun, but we should give a big round applause for Spencer Gay in Revelry who stayed after the race and assisted #62, Matt Dollacker and crew on Maverick from their entanglement with “D” mountain.  I hope they survived with little damage from the HATEFUL HUMP (bump in front of D island).
 
Thanks to race committee of Chris Webster, Sean O’Connor, David Pope, Sophie Webster, Nancy O’Connor, Bruce Barrett, Randy Baker and Michele Golden.  I have heard nothing but praise for the deviation in our usual W-L races and the Cruisers had the best of many worlds this night in their course.
Watch Facebook for the overall results on Sunday.  See you on the race course,    Dana                      _________________________________________________________________
