Weymouth, GBR
Yesterday was a long day of
waiting, for our team here in Weymouth. We were scheduled to do
four races yesterday after the first group finished up. We were
greeted in the morning with 20-25kt winds, which calmed enough for the
race committee to send out the first group. After difficulties
getting the course set and breakdowns on the Elliots, racing was further delayed for about an hour. The group finally got in three
races, before the race committee decided that it was too windy, as the
wind was starting to average 25kts, gusting to 30kts. The intent
was for our group to go out if the wind died down again later in the
day. And it did, around 2:30pm. It died down to the high teens,
with gusts into the low 20’s. We headed out for the race course
and got situated with everything. But as the race committee went
into sequence, the wind picked back up to the mid 20’s with gusts
to 30kts again. But we raced.

We started racing today at
the Sail for Gold regatta in Weymouth, England. This is the last
stage of the ISAF World Cup series. I’m sailing match racing
this event as I’ve have wrapped up the World Cup win in the Radial
Class series.

We have been in Weymouth, the
