Very, very, unofficial 1st day results. There were 8 Taipan 4.9’s and as many A’s. Three races were run. The first started with good air but that faded to almost nothing The others were run in fluky light air. Mike Hagan and crew did a horizon job on the fleet in the first and did a 1,2,1 for the day. I’m sure the racers will tell you about it when they have time. More racing tomorrow (Sunday)

From memory, here’s the standings after three races.
(Apologies to all if I’m wrong. Also sorry to omit crew names)

1. Mike Hagan
2. Jennifer Lindsey
3. (tied) Michael Coffman
4. (tied) Chuck Harnden
5. Michael Crawford
6. Rick White
7. Kirt Simmons
8. John Maples

10 to 15 knots of wind on the second day, according to the measurements on the given website. Good trapezing race weather. Hope this weather is accurate for the conditions on the race course.
