Great weekend of sailing in a great location.Lots more races coming up remember to mark your calendar!!
NOR for the upcoming Island Series.... Milt Ingram and Tri-Point are out... Register early and let them know so they can plan...
Yeah dear you should encourage the organizers to add the event to the calendar here. I am an event coordinator and arrange such public events quite frequently. Usually I suggest them to add the events to the forum calendars.
One week to the "Frenchies Rum Run Race" out to Anacapa and back, stoked to see other boats out there.
NWS is forecasting 15kt wind off Anacapa on Saturday.
Just sent off the entry form for the Milt and Tri point, anyone else sent their entry? Get them in so Richard can get the class going.
Nice race to Anacapa and back. Big thanks to the VSC for a well run race. With nice wind in the morning they got us off the start line early. Which was a good thing because right after we got in the wind really picked up. I am looking forward to the other two races in the island series this summer.
What boat did you use, Gene, and how many other cats? Finish results & total time? Pete
We sailed the 1967 B-Lion. It was her shakedown run. She has a few minor issues we need to address but overall she was a really enjoyable boat to sail and seems like a good boat for offshore. She is a bit underpowered compared to newer boats and being 20ft she handles the swells and chop really nicely.
The race went pretty quick I am not sure about the exact times. There was good wind other than a 15 minute lull right at the mark.
There ended up being 3 cats. With the prediction for heavy wind in the afternoon and not having crew, Bob M ended up jumping on a friends trimaran.
I am starting to get excited about the Milt Ingram race around Anacapa Island. Its still a ways out, but the weather forcast looks good...low 70s and sunny in the afternoon. Too early for wind forcasts.
Here is the latest forecast for just off Anacapa Island for Saturday's race...
W wind 5 to 10 kt, with gusts as high as 15 kt. Patchy fog before 11am. Mixed swell...W 2 ft and SW 3 ft. Wind waves 1 to 2 ft.
Sounds good...still time to enter you socal folks!
