Knickerbocker Cup 2009: Day 2 - Learning Day PDF  | Print |  E-mail
August 28, 2009
Manhasset, NY 
 
Today was a great day of sailing and we learned a lot of lessons.  We sailed 6 races today, winning three of them and leaving us with a 7-4 record for the first round robin.

Still Light And Shifty

The round is still going on, and will be completed after six more flights.  We have a pretty good record, but we will have to see tomorrow where we lie overall.  The next round is for the top eight boats which will race a round robin.  

Today’s conditions were shifty and puffy with occasional rain showers that came through.  We raced in winds from 6-10kts with big oscillations.  Unfortunately we kept making the same silly mistake on the start line, which made our day quite difficult, but we did end up winning three races, which gives us a good record going into tomorrow.  We drew a lot of penalties on the other boats, which helped us out a bit when we were behind off the line, but we learned what we did wrong and can hopefully fix the problem for tomorrow.   

The forecast for tomorrow is for the remnants of Danny to come over and give us some wind and rain and then get better through the day.   We are sitting out for the first part of tomorrow so we get the opportunity to relax in the morning and watch some racing before we get back at it. 

You can follow the regatta at the regatta website.   I would like to thank Carmeuse and Gill for their support of our team during this event. 

Sail hard, 

Anna
