HHSA Fall Practice Series Event 1
Author Last Post
Revision due to Cantata in non-spin this week.

If you decided to change classes, we will just add another row as the practice go on for a boat in spin vs. non spin.


Thanks,

Doug
Thanks, Doug and all for coming out last night. Took a while to wring out the boat.

We were about 30 seconds early to the A, despite our near perfect earlier practice run. We took a while to tack to SB because many of the boats were slow to start, and we wanted to make sure the start line was clear to those who weren't as familiar with rabbit starts. Sorry for the delay.

Future rabbits - it was worth it for us to go out early and do a 5 minute practice start, beginning with going head to wind, then setting the timer and making sure everyone has their assignments straight.

One suggestion is to do away with checking in - I don't think it's necessary and it is tough to write down boat names while sailing, esp in the pouring rain and waves.

Here is a summary of what was reported.

Note 4 boats did not start.

Revolution did not have a proper start, wasn't OCS but did not start on Starboard tack.

Also, 1 boat was reported finished on wrong side of A.

Everyone got wet and the sails had a lot of bay water washed off them.

We had 8-12+ kts true wind, too!

I know my crew had a blast.

Thank Eunice and crew for the rabbit start.
