What a great breeze we had for the three sailors that made it out this evening. Wind was from the south at about 10 mph. A pretty long course was set with a A mark south of Rabbit Island and the start/finish/C mark to the east of Middle Island. With the strong wind, we anchored the committee boat first then set the C mark to the wrong side of the committee boat then declared it as a gate for the C mark rounding.
First race was SACGAF. John got a great start on port and beat Jim and Craig to the A mark after may tacks and the race became a follow the leader.
The second race was an SACGACF and Craig lead the boys to the start but was a little early and circled around for the penalty leaving Jim out front. Splitting tacks, Jim lead the fleet around A and C marks. On the second leg up wing, Craig passed John to take second away.
The third race was a quick SAF and John tried a port start again where Jim and Craig were better prepared. Jim lead the fleet up to A mark again with Craig following. Splitting tacks, John was just able to get in front of Craig at the mark. The drag race to the end was tight.
Results are:
Jim: 2,1,1=4
John: 1,3,2=6
Craig: 3,2,3=8
