MR DON STREET REPORTS ON SATURDAY’S RACING

Saturday, 3/7/21, five dragons showed up for racing, RO DavidĀ  Forde, there were ideal conditions, wind Southwest 10 to 12, occasionally hard gust to 16/18 and occasional flat spots, overcast at first but sun burned through. We had three races , course Windward/Leeward twice around, starting by sunk rock buoy, windward mark off east side of Eve leeward mark harbor buoy. The racing was tight and competitive Leah, 1,4,1, and Larus 2,2,2 tied for first at six points before countback, Aphrodite 3,1,3 second with seven points.
The 88-year-old Gypsy, was sailing with only two on board so tacking was slow, and not setting spinnaker. We still had a satisfactory day as at the first Windward Mark she was always in contention.
