May 3, 2011
The 2011 sunfish season went off without a hitch. The weather held out as expected and the wind was fairly strong for Pawtuckaway with her normal shifty patterns. The couse was set with a easterly breeze coming out of south channel.
Race 1 - SACAF: Jon & Jim started starboard with John starting on port. the starboard start showed its advantage by the time everyone got to A mark, Jim was the first around A mark this season. On the second trip to A, Jon managed to get past Jim and it became a drag race back to the finish with Jim squeeking out the first win.
Race 2 - SACACF: Jon & Jim keep tight at the start and edged John with a little barging. John tacked out of Jon's dirty wind early and got the edge at A mark holding on through the finish. Jim squeesed out Jon drag racing the last leg down to the finish.
Race 3 - SACACF: Another great start for Jim followed by Jon and John. John broke right, Jon stayed in the middle and Jim took the left. By this time, the Patuckaway shifts were really in play. John, rounded A first followed by Jon and Jim and it was follow the leader through the end.
Results are:
John: 3,1,1=5
Jim: 1,2,3=6
Jon: 2,3,2=7
