It was a wild day on the river for the final PRSA Spring Series race. According to NOAA, the winds ranged from 14 -> 20 knots (from wnw) at Reagan National. I can tell you that judging from my broken rudder (Snapped in two in a big puff), the gusts were bigger than that, and the wind shifts were huge. Eight Lightnings, three Cats, one Interlake and one Albacore braved the strong shifty winds. One Lightning went over in a gust, but that was the only casualty, and everyone had a great time. Here are the scores:
