Annapolis ICers,
Series 2 Day 6 looked like it was going to be another big day until about 1230 when the wind shut down. Puffs from the ESE allowed us to race in the harbor for the first three races providing some very tricky conditions. Positions changed rapidly, especially during the downwind legs of the first three races when boats from behind blew by the leaders riding ocaasional zephyrs. Positions flip-flopped almost entirely in the third race! Spectators on city dock gathered to watch us sail which is not bad publicity.
The second set of races was held just outside the harbor after the southerly filled. John Potter again ran a superb RC quickly shifting marks and getting in as many races as possible. These conditions prooved to be no less difficult as the breeze filled and died quickly. In one start, the wind dropped from about 8 knots to 3 just as the whistle blew! Sailors quickly became aware of the importance of keeping the boat moving in light air and chop.
Macy Nelson and super crew Nick Nelson won the day handily scoring 3 bullets and a second. Macy has continually showed the importance of coming off the line with speed which has allowed him to take advantage of the first shift without having to worry about other boats. Jesse Falsone and Genie Jones were off the pace in the first three races, but came back in the southerly with a 3,2,1 to place second. Jamie Brickell sailing with Annemarie Pringle tied for third with the Simonds, and the Foot's were close behind in fifth (BTW - great name for an IC - "Cold Feet" - I guess it was the obvious choice).
Some Series 2 statistics:
Average Number of Boats per day = 9
Average Number of races per day = 7
Number of total days sailed this season = 15
Number of races sailed = 95 (Series 1 = 36, Midwntrs = 8, Series 2 =
41 to date)
Projected Number of total races for Series 2 = 69
Projected Number of skippers qualifying for Series 2 = 13
Number of days needed to qualify = 5
New Sails - the scuttlebutt is that 5 new Banks sails will be ready this week! I'll urge everyone to check their rigs for the right rake. I spent some time with the Simonds last night to find out that their rake was 5 inches off! Check you're numbers carefully.
Season Awards will be held just after racing on Opening Day, April 13th. Alex Pline will have to do some quick calculating while everyone dismantles their boats. All boats MUST vacate SSA after sailing April 13th!
Nationals NORs in the mail this week. I would expect to get them friday or saturday. Please let me know if you plan on attending. Thus far, myself and Genie, the Foot's, Brickells, and the Plines are planning the trip. Others considering it are the Simonds and Tom Stout/Tara Weekes.
Pay you're dues if you haven't already!
-Jesse
