May 08, 2024 Wind Conditions: Medium
The first race of Wednesday Night Racing for the 2024 Season brought out 8 boats initially but some decided not to race as a potential storm was brewing to the west. The RC with the help of Graham Blackburn set a I-5 course with the government make at North Canoe as the windward mark about .8 miles from the start line. As boats were checking in the winds went from SSW to WNW along with some gusty winds from the cell on the other side of the mountain. Several boats dropped out before the race started. Thank You Stinger and crew for calling on channel 72 to tell the RC that they were not going to race. The others, NOT so much. When the race started Woot took off on a reach without flying their chute followed closely by IKO IKO. Woot lead the rest of the fleet around the course getting line honors. After doing the numbers, IKO IKO captured 1st on corrected time with Uncle Ludwig for 2nd and Woot for 3rd, and Cut Loose 4th. The after race debrief was held at the Holiday Inn in the village with about 15 in attendance. See you on the water next wednesday. Please remember to check in ASAP to help out the RC.
