Official info will be on Yachtscoring: https://yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=4430 Over 20 boats pre-registered. Should have a large Hobie Getaway fleet. Weather looks like it's going to be a beautiful weekend to work on your light air skills... Don't miss the dinner and party Saturday night! Mike

Registrations still trickling in, over 40 boats so far, closing in on 50! Fog at the moment, standing by for AP ashore... Mike

brucat OP Carpal Tunnel B Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 3,946	OK, we have a regatta. Wind came back up enough for everyone to finish well within the time limit. Huge delay due to major (unplanned) shift to the South. Much more pressure for race 2. Much quicker race, just finished a few boats. Mike

We used up all of the available breeze, and towed a few Getaways back to the club after finishing most of their class on the water in Race 4. A few corrections have been made to the results. The band was Jam Chowder, and they sounded great on the historic porch at Roton Point. The wind forecast for tomorrow doesn't look much better than today's forecast was, so hopefully they'll be wrong again! Mike

There's no shortage of things to keep you busy if waiting for wind here: table tennis, foosball, actual tennis, and a beautiful swimming pool. I think all were employed yesterday! Thanks again to the 50 or so RPSA (and a couple of Fleet 448) volunteers who pulled this whole thing together. Mike
