Unfortunately, the wind gods did not favor us.
Nabeel Alsalam postponed on-shore and Lars & Dylan Rathjen went out on the river looking for any kind of sailable breeze. It wasn’t there and Nabeel after consulting with assistant-PRO Dana Howe.abandoned the day’s races at 11:30.
That was too bad as 6 Lightning, 5 I-20s, 2 Albacore, and 2 or 3 Laser skippers were present.
We only have a few Sundays left. Come on out! You need to sail 50% of the races to qualify and do some RC.
Mike Tellep ran the races. He and his team ran four W2 races.
(October 23, Races 33-36)
Eva Hogan was in charge of the races. Unfortunately, no wind come in. No races.
Frank Gallagher ran the races with Michael Bors and Ben Cole on the Georgetown RBI.
The wind was generally westerly, but kept teasing that it would shift south and then a big puff would come in from the north.
(September Oct 9, Races 29-32)
Dana Howe ran the races. Oops, he tried, but the wind only tortured him.
(October 2, 2022)
David Metcalf ran the races with his team of Joshua as recorder and Jim Greenly and Joe as mark boat. He reports:
The wind was a steady 10 mph (per Windalert), 81 degrees, A beautiful day to be on the water.
It was a rainy morning, but the rain stopped in time for the sailors to rig and launch. Jim Graham ran three races down by the power plant because the water was high and made for a short trip back to the dock in case thunderstorms were threatening. Twelve sailors in four classes competed.
(Races 21-23 of the Spring & Fall Series)
We had 20 races over 8 Sundays. Not all classes competed in all 20 races. To qualify, the boat must have sailed in 50 percent or more of the races in which at least one boat from the class competed. Boats that did not qualify have an # by their number.
These are preliminary pending corrections and interpretation of the NOR.
Kyra Tallon ran the races with help from Jeff Witten.
It appears the winds were from the east and dying.
This is being posted late. Sorry.
Notes:
Laser 177053 competed but I don’t know who she is. That sail number is not registered or signed in.
