NWISA Open Team Race Champs

We began the day with a light southerly that died out several times and delayed racing. The race committee did a great job quickly getting races off when there was enough wind for sailing. The forecasted north easterly filled in around 3 pm and eventually built to 8 kts, allowing the completion of 36 races by 6 pm.

Racing started around 0940 this morning with a 4-6 kt south easterly breeze that remained fairly steady throughout the day, allowing us to complete the first round robin and a championship/consolation round. There was a 5 team tie for second place going into the championship round, so we had a top 6 championship and bottom 4 consolation round, for a weekend total of 66 races. The race committee commented on how polite and appreciative the sailors were!
