Sounds very exciting! Who's your PRO, what are the target times for each race, how long is the turnaround between races???

(Wishing I was there...)

the races are running around 25 minutes each. After each race the teams are going in and swaping out boats.
The PRO is Fairley Brinkley.
The turnaround time is roughly 30 mins.
The weather picked up and there is short interval 2ft chop. This why no updates have been posted. I do not want to damage my hardware.

A fleet is up next. Sadly I won't be able to update. I am posted this because the teams are in the beach switching the boats around.

The wind is now averaging 16kts. Not very puffy and very stable.

Get off my back - I just submitted the report and it's 12:16am. Our goal is to get as many races in as possible. The wind and weather was so good today, I chose (after consulting with Fairlie) to push the fleet out for one more race late in the day. I couldn't stand to see that wind go unused! We probably won't push so late further into the week. Our turnarounds have been inconsistent but at a very high speed this early in the week. our shortest was 15 minutes and our longest 45. It all depends on what kind of attention the boats need inbetween rounds.

I think this answers the question about sailors using performance enhancing drugs. Someone needs to call Tripp out on this before it gets much more out of hand!

So does this mean congress will be calling sailors to testify about preformance drugs soon?

Definitely Tripp! Jake... how are they doing? Watters is a really good dinghy sailor, he got 15th at Vanguard 15 midwinters (which is kinda poor for him) when I got a cool 51st. I'm 99% sure he's never raced cats though. Wicked cool to see him on them though!

We put a lot of focus on the beach staff this year but we lost Darline who normally does the web reporting. I foolishly thought I would be able to pick up the slack but that's not quite the case. The last two years, we have had two people working the beach - this year we have seven. We have a scribe (Robyn Strickland) that takes notes from the sailors as they hit the beach about anything that needs attention on the boat, we have one person assigned to two boat numbers to handle minor issues and help get the boats on the beach and turned around (David Strickland, Chris Zander, Tim Owens, Zack), then we have Robbie Daniel and Greg Goodall who are standing ready to fix major things (like replacing a spinnaker or battens, etc.).

Robi's doing such a good job reporting from the water, I may see if he would be interested in putting together a daily report to keep me from being up so late!

Tripp raced a couple of legs of the Tybee 500 last year - he's got a little time on cats.

here are the results after two complete races - we got the the first heat of race three completed tonight and A-fleet goes back out this morning to start the day and complete race #3.

Nice job, Jake, Robi and all!

What sorts of issues are you having with the charter boats? Surprised no one has asked yet, since that's always a hot question, especially for newer boat classes.

Jake,

I didn't mean to get on your back. I didn't know you were the one doing the updates. I thought as always, Darline would be doing it. Thats cool and believe me, everyone appreciates your hard work on this whole thing.

(And its bloody great to see an Alter Cup that focuses on the sailors and not just on the boats :P )

Excellent point, and I totally agree. But, we are boat geeks and we DO want to know about that too!

I meant Andrew Watters, Tripp's skipper doesn't have cat experience. Tripp has plenty of time in cats!
Thanks for the updates Jake! The pictures on your site are awesome!
