A new season is upon us with high water levels! We've had few Wednesday nite race nights and so many more are ahead of us this summer.
Heres a grand review of our first nite from longtime member, Richard:
April Racing at SMSC (first time ever?)
First Wednesday eve racing started at 6:30pm April 29 with 10Β° temp and 5 knot wind - both dropped significantly, then the wind popped back up again for a nice but chilly sail into the club at 8:30pm. We sailed close to the club in East Bay. Three hardy participants used jackrabbit starts so no countdown or race committee was needed. Then for race 3 we did a pursuit with start orders based upon race 2 time differences. All were in Lasers. Here's Richard's boat ready for casting-off onto the flooded lawn, and Rob and Vincent standing in the Laser ghetto in front of a St. Mary sunset.
