  Conditions were ideal for an early start of the first race.  Three of our Rhodes 19 turned out on this sunny Saturday with calm water and frisky winds from the northeast.  A W3 course was held for the first two races, and as winds became more variable and began to fade, a shorter W2 course was held for the third and final race. The PYC orange cylinders A and B were used as marks.

  The variable winds came and went, and a good start and lead did not guarantee a winning finish today.  But a good time was had by all, and many thanks to the Committee boat crew for a great day of racing! Full results are here.

  As the racers began to gather around the course at 1:00 the winds were soft and the water nearly flat.  But by race time at 2:00 that had changed dramatically.  As you may note from the video posted on our Facebook page this morning, the boats had challenges even getting to the starting line on time given the winds and growing waves.  Never-the-less, four boats competed and all four finished with respectable times.

  The second race on a longer course brought less forgiving conditions, with gusty and changing winds.  Only three boats continued for the second race, and one dropped out along the way.

  Full race results are here.

  Our congratulations go to Captain Rob Casper for a stellar first place finish in both races.  And to all the competitors and our Committee Boat Crew go our deepest thanks.  Even setting up and taking down the course was more work than usual.

  The third race in Series 1 races was held on a beautiful sunny day in the harbor. Winds built though the afternoon, giving ample chance for the four boats to test their skills. The course was W3, heading from the starting line at the committee boat, around mark D and a yellow tetrahedron twice, then back to the finish line. Two boats were disqualified in the first race for not completing the course as prescribed. One rounded the mark to starboard (all rounding were to be made with the mark on the boat’s port side). Another boat crossed the finish line in the wrong direction.

  Both errors could have been rectified. In fact, a third boat rounded one mark to starboard, but caught their error and rounded the mark a second time in the correct direction.

  Mistakes are not uncommon on a race course. In our volunteer club we generally rely on each captain to either self-correct, take a penalty, or self-report to the committee boat. A penalty for such infractions as touching a mark, is generally sailing your boat in a 360 degree circle. One of our captains had to do just that when inadvertently sailing into the tetrahedron. With all that in mind, here are the results.

  It was a lovely day for sailboat races: nice temperature and favorable winds. Three boats raced in two races. Congratulations to skipper Rob Casper in Shakit and skipper Joel Shaw in Selma Rose. Full results are here.

  When Ron and Betty went out to design and set up the course, they discovered that race mark “A” had wandered away from its location on the east end of the breakwater and traveled closer to the west end of the breakwater. On July 8, they retreived the mark and put it back to its correct location, verifying that all race marks are in the locations indicated on the racing chart and buoy locations on the Resources for Racers webpage.

  This race marked the start of the 2025 racing season. Two races were held and three boats competed. The winds were light for the first race but increased substantially for the second. Congratulations to Jeff Lick and Gege Porges in Bobbin' Along for winning the first race, and Jonathan Austin and Kevin Box in Swallow for winning the second race. Full results are here.
