Racers, Race committee for May 18th is Avalon weather is suppose to be great.
Hopeful wind will be enough to send everybody on a the long course if not we will adjust as necessary
See on the water

Jim - not sure if you saw my message in the discussion about long v. short course for Spin boats, but a long course for Non-Spin means a greater likelihood of little to no wind near the end of the course, keeping us out there much longer including the RC boat who has to wait for us.  I'd love for there to be strong wind for the entire race but I can't recall it ever happening.  Appreciate your consideration.

Thank you.

Yes,
 Beverly I am aware of the disparity between Spin and Non spin and will keep that in mind
Wind predictions and models  will certainly dictate a  course for all classes.
The chance of the non spin class being sent on the long course is small and I would if the predictions indicate good wind thru out the day / evening
I would  query the non spin fleet before sending them on the longer course ( some are a little slower than their competitors ), and I don' t want to have boats unable to finish because of a dying  breeze.
I will see you on the water hopefully

Cantata will be out.  Sailflow has the 2:00 wind at 3 kts and not improving until after 5:00.  Doesn't look good.

Les Folio
Gaia is in, if the wind keeps up (looks like 6 kn here, similar to Thomas Point observation. 
If wind dies as models show, we convert to a Booze cruise.
