Wed Night Race 1 Summer
Series
Racing got off to a great start for the first race in the summer series. The wind was blowing between 12 and 18 knts from the North. With the pin end favored Wild Turkey and Aliens setup at the pin for a start going left. To much antics and both where over early. Wild Turkey soon turned back. But it was a long time till Aliens returned to restart. This allowed Lunch Box to make a big break on the first beat.
At the First Mark Lunch Box lead followed by Bad dog and Wild turkey Trailing in 3rd after coming back from an over early. Down wind Lunch Box and Wild Turkey went down the East side looking for a shift off Meadow point. However, there was better pressure on the outside allowing Bad dog to close right up on Lunch Box and Wyewacket got past Wild Turkey leading into the leeward mark.
Up the next beat there where some big shifts and again the middle order was switched around quite a bit. Lunch Box managed to break free with some good pressure off Meadow point. There was a big tussle up the second beat between Surfer Girl and Wild Turkey. Towards the top of the beat Wild turkey got on the lee bow and started to power ahead as the breeze shifted to the right.
Lunch Box and Bad Dog sailed good races, followed by a strong showing from Wyewacket, third.
All in all a great sunny evening on the sound with some great fast and fun down wind sailing.
