2024 Fall Series #2 Sept 15

Leave a comment

Nabeel Alsalam, Mark Rickling, Natalie Rehberger, and Jon ran the races.  (Lindsay Bach got a pass when RC decided to take only one boat out due to lack of motor peeing.)  The wind was east-northeast which is a challenge on the river.  So they set up the windward mark at the mouth of the Anacostia and a gybe mark half the distance to Roaches run.  The wind took big shifts left and right.

Nevertheless, it was a great day to be on the water and the sailors got five O-2 races (triangle, windward-leeward).  The Lightnings had a hard carrying their spinnaker on the reaching legs depending on the phase of the wind but the Albacores got in some reaching fun.

2024 Fall Series #1 – Sept 8

Leave a comment

Mike Heinsdorf, Dave Huber, Tim Dickson, and John Van Voorhis ran the races.

11 Albacores, 1 Buccaneer, 3 I-20s, 2 Lasers, and 4 Lightnings competed.  All 5 fleets were able to compete in the first 3 races, after we started the 4th race for the Albacores the wind died so we opted to send the rest of the fleets home.  The early high winds were a bit too much for the I-20s.

The first 2 races were W2, the last 2 races were W1.

Fall Series #8 Results

It started out very breezy Sunday, out of the north at 15-18 knots as reported by our RC Yates. The breeze slowly slacked off to 12 or so by the end of the day. Participation was light, however, probably because it was just a bit chilly out there. It was a good time for the brave few who showed up though. Here are the scores:
