Potomac River Sailing Association
Spring Series #5

Sunday 5/5/2002

By Chris Bolton - Race Committee Chair
We towed some boats up, but others refused the tow. They said "If we can't sail up there, it won't be enough wind to race". Probably true, but once we got everyone up there, I started racing anyway. Figured they might as well drift around the marks as opposed to drifting around the RC boat. Breeze was mostly southeast to south, but very patchy and light. We did 4 races; first three were one lap triangles and the last one a 2 lap W-L. One Laser showed up and matched up pretty well with the Albacores, especially upwind. Eventually we had 3 cats, 5 Albacores (and one Laser), and 2 Mobjacks. The wind came up nicely as we sent everyone in, only to die halfway home. We put half the fleet under tow, and the breeze came up strong again right at the light pier, creating some anxious moments as we turned the corner.
