2010 North American Championships
St Petersburg Yacht Club
April 1-4, 2010
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.
