Four boats today, and a cold front moving in meant increasing / gusty conditions. I decided today shortly after the first race started to attempt to fly my asymmetrical spinnaker for the first time ever which went as well as you can imagine. I did get it deployed, and doused without breaking anything at least 🙂
I continue to try to figure out the new boat holding up the rear of the group 🙂
A whirlwind in the forecast leading up to the race, but unfortunately not much of that wind made it to Sunday’s start. Four BLSA boats started between 4-5 buy at Hanna Creek no wake, and raced to the first Kent’s Buoy and back. “Wind” had most on a broad reach all the way to the rounding point, then close hauled on the way back. Not a lot of wind and not a lot of tacking.
On the bright side, it was overcast and much cooler than forecast during the race.
Four boats out there today, in good wind. I did not make it so I don’t have any commentary :). Below are the race details.
Small group of sailors/boats today produced the following results ending off the spring racing season. See everyone this fall!

Good morning,
This last weekend’s races just had 3 boats, Isabel, Eclipse, and a new old entry (Allegro). I purchased Allegro, Shawns Beneteau First 265 last weekend therefore the boat and handicap change!
Today’s wind was decent, but also variable through the buoy to buoy (Hanna to bridge) race. I picked the wrong side of the lake to return on and fell behind quite a bit, but the handicap helped me claw back a spot 🙂
Today was quite gusty and plenty of wind out of the north west. Without a committee boat we did a ‘no wake’ buoy to ‘no wake’ buoy race from the entrance of the northern ‘no wake’ (between buoy 3-4) to the bridge buoys and back. One of use was seriously outmatched on the down wind sail to the bride watching the other two boats and their spinnakers cruise away (I was the one outmatched :). )
We finally got our racing season started with 3, 2 buoy races. There were 4 boats today and the wind was between 0 and 15 knots and in every direction. So, a typical day at Brookville 🙂
The results are posted below.
Today BLSA met for our first social event, and sock burning as is the tradition for the club. We had a decent turnout. Dan and Sara brought hot dogs, and others brought sides and snacks. Weather was brisk, but sunny making it a pleasant day to kick off the year.
