Vlad Regatta - Saturday, May 4th

We had a GREAT day of racing today.  With some last minute sign-ups this morning we ended up with 8 V15s and 11 Lasers out on the water.  6 races in for the Laser fleet and 8 for the V15s.  After a light air start with some shiftiness, the wind settled in at 355 for the rest of the day.  Wind speeds were variable in the morning and built to about 7-10 for the afternoon.

High five to an excellent crew on the markset boats!  Nick B ran the weather mark boat with a rotating crew of Scott and Chuck while Tim S. and John H. held down the bottom end.  A short stalemate occurred when the markset boats refused to move any more marks until they received hot pot pies but it was resolved with the arrival of fresh, warm popcorn from the shore crew.

The signal boat was kept in stitches with the robust signing of Bob J. and Melissa C. and much fun was had playing the name game.

Overall, a great day to be on the water!  Tomorrow, only 4 races for the V15s and 3 for the Laser to complete the full series.
