Steady breeze 15 - 18 knots with gusts in the 20's. Not so sure it was the wind but a combination of the gusts and many tired sailors. This was the 17th race of a series that all but two races featured double trapping breezes. I cannot imagine how tired many of the competitors muscles were handling all that pressure.

As for no more races the last day...more a matter of safety than too much breeze. We only had (2) whalers on the course brought out the 3rd and last available to assist the demasted boat. All my boats were very busy tending to flipped boats and felt in my opinion we were about to loose control of the day...therefore...no more racing.

Trust me, it was not the breeze alone that lead to my decision to end the day.
