A high pressure area over Tampa Bay brought light winds and limited the number
of races. What we did have was an observation and thinking game.
Winner Lin Robson felt bad about the weather situation but said, "The
glass half full was, though, that it was not an equipment regatta, but nice
and tight with positioning and finding pressure the keys to
success." Results
are here. St. Petersburg Yacht Club provided excellent race
organization.
Cathy Scoffin got some pics of the boys smilin and practicing mast weaving
skills while getting the class trailer ready for the trip out west for
Nationals at Santa Cruz Yacht Club over Memorial Day weekend.
Four boats and how many masts? there's more?
