PRSA Spring Series # 3, Sunday, April 27 Ben Ackerman was PRO, with Race Committee members provided by the Catamaran Fleet. It was a gray, chilly Sunday -- overcast and misty, with temperatures in the mid-50s, but we had refreshing northeasterly winds, and got in four racers on a Windward-Leeward and then an Olympic course. Here are the results. PRSA Spring Series # 2, Sunday, April 20. The AccuWeather forecast called for cloudy skies, rain, heavy at times, and possible thunderstorms. AccuWeather got it right! PRO Daphne Byron evaluated the weather forecast, and with the sparse turnout as of 10 AM, decided to cancel racing for the day. Good call, Daphne! PRSA Spring Series # 1, Sunday, April 13. 12 Lightnings, 7 Albacores, 5 Cats, an Interlake, 2 Buccs, and a Laser came out to enjoy the first racing day of the 2008 Spring Season, under cloudy skies with a high temperature of 55 degrees and westerly/northwesterly winds at 10 to 14 MPH. PRO Jeff Storck set a nice triangular course with the windward and reach marks close to the airport, and got off 4 races in good order. Here are results. And here are the pictures!
PRSA Spring Icebreaker Saturday, April 5. The 2008 PRSA Spring Season kicked off this weekend with the traditional Icebreaker on Saturday, sailing in front of the power plant. Low tide was at 2:01 PM, making for very shallow water for the afternoon. The AccuWeather forecast called for for mostly cloudy skies, rain off and on all day, with northerly winds at 10 MPH, and a high temperature of 62 degrees. The AccuWeather forecast was wrong! While we did have the northerly winds at 12 - 8 MPH (and calm at one point), the day was mostly sunny and pleasant, with not a drop of rain in sight. 3 Lightings came out and were joined by 6 Hobies and 8 Lasers. Frank Gallagher and crew provided Race Committee. What a nice start of the season! Results here. Thanks much, boat clean-up team! Sincere thanks to the volunteers -- Jeff Storck, Rick Welch, Chris Bolton, Robert Bennett, Barney Harris and David Thompson -- who accomplished an equipment inventory and a thorough cleaning of the Bayliner on March 15, with much help from Nabeel's power washer. 2008 Capital City Laser Regatta March 15 - 16. Bob Bear was the PRO, with an able race committee that included Barney Harris, Chris Bolton, Steve Parsons, and Kevin Cowley. Saturday saw beautiful sailing conditions early, with northerly winds at 14 MPH at noon; 8 MPH at 1 PM; 3 MPH at 2 PM; and calm after that, with mostly sunny skies and a high temperature of 61 degrees. Sunday's winds averaging 20 MPH, gusts to 32, made up for the light winds on Saturday, but with much cooler temperatures. Results here. Read 2007 reports |
