The race took place Saturday in low wind conditions. Winds ranged from 3 to
about 10 knots. There were innumerable lulls and windshifts, with the wind
clocking veering as much as 90 degrees on occassion. The skipper's ability to
read the wind shifts and lulls played an important part in dtermining the
final results.
There was an upwind start, and first upwind leg was about 1.5 miles long.
The second downwind leg was about 2 miles. The final leg was upwind 0.5
miles to the finish.
The big boats (Potter 19, Montgomery 17) started first, followed five minutes
later by the small boats (Potter 15, Montgomery 15, ComPac 16).
