Lucy and Machbuster Get Wins in the Fog

For the first time in recent memory, Fleet 12 raced in fog that came and went throughout the afternoon. Often fog is seen across the bay on race day, but today the fog was on the race course itself, adding a new element to the test. The wind was fairly steady at about 12 knots from the south southwest, the tide in the last hour of ebb at the first start. Race Committee Dave Cain and Peter Converse successfully set a square and generous line, belying the difficulty of setting the pin in the deep channel. The course for race #1 was Zp, finish.

Fleet 12 Opens the 2010 Season with Clinic and Races

New Fleet Captain Bill Porter got the season off to an early, enthusiastic start on Saturday June 19, featuring an on/off water clinic led by J/22 rock star Terry Flynn from Quantum Sails. Terry not only rotated among the participating boats on the water, he then reviewed the video delving into the arcane subjects of sail shape, heel angle, and the importance of “changing gears” in the prototypical puffy fresh breezes found in the lower bay. What a great way to kick-off the 2010 season.
