Let me start with an apology to Judy David for omitting a mention of her sterling contribution to last week’s racing. Sorry, Judy, and thank you. Judy was here today and, this time, brought her granddaughter, Maggie. Welcome. Cindy was also here to support Louis. Thank you, ladies.   Connie, along with Al, wasn’t here this morning, and we missed them.

This morning was hot and humid, but the adequate breeze helped us stay comfortable.

Five members thought the conditions were good for sailing and brought their boats and their competitive spirits to the cove. We also had visits from Jim Kelly, Bill Raposa and Dick Mahoney. Good to see you all.

For ease of understanding, I have attached a depiction of the course markers, with apologies to the artists who may be reading this.   Today, the course was set with the DroneBuoy and the pin forming the line. South to take the blue and green pins to port, then north to the pink/white pin to port, and back to the line. As the wind strengthened, after two races, the course was extended by including the red/yellow mark, then onto the red mark to port. South to take the blue and green marks to port and downwind to the line. Whew! 

Nick got off to a great start by winning the first four races, but Bill David won the next five to easily become today’s champion with 12 points. Nick finished the day with a creditable score of 18 points. With two third places and six second places, Kim equalled Nick’s point score but took third place because Nick had more first places.

New model boat sailors, Mike and Louis both had two third place finishes, and it was level pegging with these two, with Mike scoring just one point more.

Well done, everyone. Some very close racing today and lots of fun. 

The results are attached. Don’t forget to visit our website mhbmyc.org  for all the news.

Df95 racing continues next Tuesday, June 17th, when the tide will be coming in towards a high at around 1.30.

In the meantime, have a great weekend.
