Week 1 - May 4, 2010

After a 40 minute delay due to thunder storms passing through the area, three sailors ventured out to open the 2010 season. The storms passing through left the winds coming from the west. A course was set between Turtle and Middle Islands with the A mark set toward the mouth of Mountain Brook Cove.

The first race was a SACF. Jon and John had clean starts an Jim managed to hit the start pin forcing him to do a circle.

The second race, a SACAF, started with Jim tacking around into John at the start and doing another circle. Jon beat everyone to A with John right on his tail. John snuck by on the trip back to C but Jon took a quicker tack back up to A.

The third race, another SACF, another hit from Jim. Again he tacked around and got hung up in his sheets and hit John in the pre-race maneuvers. Jon continued to dominate and Jim passed John just before the A when John tacked short as he missed the lay line and lost momentum.

Results are:
Jon; 1,1,1=3
John; 2,2,3=7
Jim; 3,3,2=8
