The middle of the fleet was anybody game and there were lead changes on ever leg.  With three one lap races followed by three two lap races.  The sailors had to stay in the game.

 

The 720 rule was included by the RD.  This caused the sailor to think twice before they push an issue.  Only one protest came off the water.  We have included 4 boat circle markers so that the sailors could judge their positions as they approached the marks.  These marks were smaller floats that were measured distance from the turning marks.  Most of the comments were that it seemed to be a greater distances from the marks than they had expected. 

 

The Coffee was provided by the local coffee shop.  lunch was provided by the Tomato Palace.   We had a great dinner back a the Tomato Palace following the first day of sailing.

 

The racing was over a 12:30 pm Sunday.  The entire fleet knew that they had been racing.  Most were numb.
