Laser races October 8 and 9, 2011. A short report. Rainy and stormy on Saturday and Alejandro, Rob and Sam the only ones that came. None of them wanted to sail very badly. The other sailors were saying the forecast for thunderstorms. So we didn’t sail and nobody else put any boats in the water. Saturday learn to sail group learned to sail in more wind and the rain. Good work folks…


Sunday Rob put the marks out and reported a good breeze out in the dark water. Three again. This time Rob, Sam and Marc. Joan and Robin were RC. Seven or 8 MPH wind and light rain by first race. The Old man got a good start and won the first race. He turned over going down wind in the second and was in last with Rob in first. Marc was right with us in the last race when the wind was up and a lot more rain. Rob won the last two races. Lots of crazy wind shifts at the windward mark. A challenge sailing in the race with more rain and tell tails all lying down. More rain had come by the time the “big boats” had to decide—nobody put in. Laser sailing only.

The precautions you took are so laudable, otherwise did you have any special equipment to forecast the weather? Congratulations to Rob and the other sailors who participated...
