Sunday, April 7 - High School Invitational
After completing the full round robin on Saturday, today's racing was for the championship. 27 more races were run in a shifty breeze that eventually settled in from the east northeast.
Saturday, April 8 - 2013 High School Invitational
Ten (10) teams from Minnesota, Michigan, and the
greater Chicago area competed in the CYC High School Invitational. The competitors completed nine (9) flights
for a total of forty-five (45) races. Following a Block “N” pattern, the sailors
maintained an average race duration of 11-13 minutes/course.
During the earlier portion of the day, winds remained an
average of 150 degrees with a fifteen (15) degree margin. The wind velocity
ranged between five (5) and seventeen (17).
Later in the day winds grew
increasingly shifty with intermittent puffs, some up to twenty-eight (28)
knots! The number of capsizes increased as the day wore on, allowing sailors to
test the thirty-nine degree waters.
There were aggressive
starts within individual round rotation assignments in order to cover a
specific competitor and compile the lowest combined score possible.
The Star Award was earned by Jill D. for orderly finish sheets, and keeping the boards up to date.
