A few days beforehand, the forecast was for potential rain and no wind on Saturday, but the weekend weather ended up being close to ideal. Wind was mostly 10-15 knots each day, more on the 10 end of the spectrum (sometimes less, from the SW) on Saturday and more on the 15 end (sometimes more, from the NW) on Sunday. The race committee did a great job, getting off the planned 3 races per day. Tactics (and stamina on Sunday) were key--races involved substantial oscillating shifts, large shifts to the right, and interesting current dynamics. Lance Kim nearly swept the ILCA 7 fleet, although Nick Roosevelt bested him in one race. Toshi Takayanagi dominated the ILCA 6 fleet, and even beat all the 7's in two of the races. A good time was had by all!

Thanks for the update! Sounds like great sailing. Sorry to have missed it, but I got sick and didn’t recover in time. I’ll echo Marcel: glad Lance is back in the mix…
