Here the first prelimairy news (May change as more news comes in)

Gina and Matt second at Hagar ! (at least I assume Gina was crew as only skippers are named on the list)

By the way, why don't they list the crews ? On these boats the crew is extremely important in the end result and they should get the credit they deserve. (so I named Gina first in this post to compensate somewhat! )

Listing 1 : sorted on corrected time

1st 4:22:44 Andrews H16
2nd 4:40:57 McDonald Blade F16
3rd 4:42:57 Roddericks N5.2
4th 4:43:45 Henry N5.5sl
5th 5:03:16 Casey I20
6th 5:11:09 Shambie NF18
7th 5:18:00 Harnden TF16
8th 5:22:12 Ingram NF18
9th 6:16:30 Herendeen I20
10th DNF Gilligan, Roland, Cindi


Listing 2 : sorted on elapsed time


1st 3:02:34 Casey I20
2nd 3:10:58 Henry N5.5sl
3rd 3:12:10 McDonald Blade F16
4th 3:12:33 Roddericks N5.2
5th 3:19:27 Shambie NF18

10th DNF Gilligan, Roland, Cindi


That 5.2 had several mod factors for oversized main, solo sailing a doublehander, spi and being a sloop I believe
The 5.5 had a L4 correction = For total crew weight less than 70% of class min. crew wt. So I think he was singlehanding a sloop doublehander as well. We must take that into account when looking at the results.

I don't know yet why the H16 by Andrew is so much in front on corrected time (listing 1)

But interesting to note is how Gina and Matt were 3rd in total elapsed time after teh I20 of casey and just 1 min and 12 sec behind the singlehanderd sloop nacra 5.5 of Henry. I say that is a great score. The other boats come in after them. Of course this is a two day fun distance race but still. Note where the other F18's and I20 ended up. The Taipan F16 of Chuck and Mavis as well, but I understand from the rumour that they had a spinnaker issue and couldn't set it during he race.


The weather conditions were : (From David Ingram of www.1design.net)


Saturday

Northwest winds 10 to 15 knots. Seas 6 to 8 feet subsiding to 3 to 5 feet in the evening. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop.

Sunday

North winds 10 knots becoming southeast in the afternoon and evening. Seas 3 to 5 feet.


Especially the second would have been good for the singlehanders

Hopefully more later. Or maybe some of the participants can be invited to type up a short race report for us ?
