Summary

Saturday, September 17:

The Casco Bay Fall Open was sailed in 10-12 kts of southwesterly breeze building to 14-16 in the afternoon. There were 10 degree osillations in the steady southwesterly. W-2 courses were used throughout the day with substantial weather legs. The tidal flow was diagonal left to right on the lower half of the course and diagonal toward the weather mark for competitors going left early.

Thirteen teams competed in eight races in each division. A consistent Portland A division dominated with 21 points. Duxbury and Marblehead B division skippers each had 28 points, however Duxbury with both A and B division consistency carried the day with a total of 59 points.

Many thanks to the PRO, Dick Levesque for keeping the racing moving and all the coaches who manned rotation boats, mark boats and other support boats. Special thanks to Maggie Robinson for her yeoman work dealing with rotations, scoring etc. especially since Techscore was down.
