PRESS RELEASE
Date: October 1 2003
For Immediate Release
Conditions for the third day of racing at the Hobie 16 North Americans were light and shifty. Race one got going after several general recalls. As the boats got to the top of the first beat the wind was dying. The race committee shortened the course at the leeward gate and sent the fleet back to shore under postponement. At 3:30 the fleet was sent out for another race.There were several more general recalls and the course again had to be shortened, this time at the second weather mark. Sailors got back to the beach just before dark. Tomorrow's forecast calls for better wind.

1) Paul Hess and Mary Ann Hess 17pts

3) Armando Noriega Jr. and Roderigo Achach 35pts.
