| Saturday: In honor of the Racine Yacht
Club's 100th anniversary, which is next year,
the RYC race director decided to send all
boats including one designs on a "distance
race". The race was about 20 miles long.
The start was near the harbor, to the Racine
reeflight about 1 mile away, then 6 miles due
south, sailed back north for 8 miles, then
west 1 mile, south 1 mile, then to the
finish line which was another mile west. In
all about a 20 mile race. The race was fast
and fun to the southernmost mark with a West
wind about 10-15 knots. On the way back
north, the wind died and eventually filled in
from the east. The boats that stayed closest
to the shore did the best. The race took
just over 4 hours, which was too long for the
Pedersons who only packed 6 beers. Sunday: The start of the race was moved up to 9:30am due to a forecast of strong winds. There were 3 races scheduled. At the start the wind was SW 15-20 with gusts to 25. Only two star teams were brave enough to race. Gusts were in excess of 30 during the race. After one race all remaining races were cancelled. |
