The first 5-week dinghy racing series concluded on May 7. The racing was very close this week with only 2 points separating 1st from 4th in the final standings. Six Vanguards and 2 lasers sailed 4 races in a northerly that looked promising but gradually died. Almost everyone ran aground at some point; a few of us managed to do it twice! Thank you to Andy Parker for your work on race committee.
One of the most encouraging results of the first series is that we had such broad participation. Over the 5-week series, 38 different sailors raced in the Vanguard 15’s and 8 sailed lasers. Many adults sailed with their kids and quite a few of the high school sailors participated. A few juniors also tried Optis but the conditions made it tough for them this series. I hope the Optis will keep trying…conditions should get better for you as we get closer to summer.
The next series starts May 14. We race every Friday at 6pm.
