Good wind, great racing with 7 racers showing up to enjoy the day. Collision at the start between Wicked Witch and Red, with Wicked Witch performing 720 penalty. If you’re a time traveler from the future, please go back in time and tell Dallace to night fly the chute today!
You can see these results directly on GYBEHUB also.
Winds out of the NE at 6-14kts throughout the race on average. Start was between buoy 3&4 exiting Hanna Creek, and rounding a ‘runaway’ buoy off the fairfield dock. The start was the downwind portion where multiple spinnakers showed their faces giving those boats an advantage.
A light turnout for the last race of the season. The wind was ‘ok’ building and turning into an incredible sailing day (after the race). This wraps up the 2025 BLSA Racing season!
Results for the races for the weekend. I couldn’t make it so just have the results this week!
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!
