The first boats to hit the water this spring were once again the RC Fleet #14 Lasers.
It was cold (maybe 34%) and yes it did snow briefly, but that did not discourage us.

While the wind was mostly out of the west, when you saw a strong puff coming you occasionally changed tacks without moving your rudder. The course for the day was a short windward then leeward then to a jibe mark back to windward then leeward and up to the finish. With the wind circulating the way it did you were either propelled to the lead or shuffled back which is what accounted for the five different winners out of six heats. The only repeat was Nate Heinzelman which was enough to place him in the lead for the Spring Series. “RESULTS”
Next week will be racing at either CYC or Holiday Harbor 2-4pm for week 2 of the series. Bring your mittens and enjoy the snow. You can’t get this everywhere.
Tha Admiral!!!
