Waves were a key factor throughout the racing on this blustery day on Long Island sound.  RC reported 3-5 foot seas with 11-17 knot winds.  Crews from several boats boat reported “4-8 foot seas with 14-22 knot winds”.  Hmmmm.

The first race was W2 (Windward - Leeward Twice).   At the first weather mark rounding there was some “confusion” but no protests lodged.  Downwind surfing was the game of the day as skippers hunted for the best waves to ride to the leeward mark. Top finishers in the first race were Paul Jon Patin, Peter Beam, and Dan Neff.

Second course was a repeat of the first.  Several anxious boats, jumped the start prompting RC to make a General Recall.  After the fleet regrouped RC grinned as they hoisted the “I” to signal the “round the ends” rule was in effect. The second attempt resulted in a clean start.  Top finishers in the second race were Paul Jon Patin, John Cooke, John Luard.

For the third race RC added a reaching mark and set a “T2” (Triangle Windward-Leeward) course.  The reaching legs were close reaches.  About 20% of the 24  boats remaining (yes it was a brutal day) in the fleet choose to fly spinnakers.  One boat capsized and quickly turtled.  On a few boats, spinnakers unintentionally became sea anchors.  18 boats finished the third race.  Top finishers in the third race were Paul Jon Patin, Dan Vought, Ralph Coffill.

Congratulations to Paul Jon Patin and his crew, Christian Cremer and Matt Cottrell!
