Sorry there was no report yesterday but it was a Lay Day and therefore no racing. Howie and I put in four hours working on the boat. About half the competitors were down working on their crafts either rebuilding them so they could continue on, or restocking their spare parts armory. The word around the […]
Two races were held today on the Berkeley Circle in moderate conditions. The first race was an 8-12 knot affair while the wind built to 20 at the end of the second race. The first race was delayed about an hour and a half as the wind was from the east this morning and we […]
Sorry I did not get to this sooner. Just a bit going on right now. Anyway, the boys had a tough day on Sunday in Portugal and we ended up second overall to Team New Zealand. That’s an improvement over Cagliari where we were third. Our trend is headed in the right direction! Next one […]
Before we got going today, Howie and I had to deal with something from yesterday. It was a complicated issue that has to do with Gate Starts. I will try to explain. If you are out of patience for today better close this email now. To try to make it simple, we were first disqualified […]
Day two of the 505 worlds, day one for me. One race today in about 20-22 knots of wind. We got 6th and are in third overall. Mike Martin and Jeff Nelson won the race and are definitely the boat to beat in the breeze. We were deep at the first mark, probably 30th, and […]
No wind, no racing. Still on top of the heap with Artemis. The forecast for tomorrow is only marginally better. One thing about sailboat racing; you need Mother Nature’s cooperation. When you are in these waiting situations, it is nice to be in first place because sometime they end this way. It is like finishing […]
Another good day on the Artemis today! We got the bullet and moved into first overall for this regatta. That is two “coastal” race wins in a row for Artemis now with this one and the win in Cagliari. They are nice to win because they count 1.5 times a normal race. We had an […]
Another good day on the Artemis today! Finishes of 2, 4, 2 has us tied for first with Team New Zealand on 15 points. Quantum is third with 17. The first raced was very tricky because we started in a wind direction of 245 and finished in a wind direction of 305. In the middle, […]
Good day on the Artemis today! Finishes of 3, 4, 2 has us in second place overall after three races. Quantum is leading with 1, 1, 4. The first race did not get off until 1400. The forecast had the wind in the southwest for the early part of the day but an eminent shift […]
When up to a hundred doublehanded dinghies converge on San Francisco Bay next week for the 2009 SAP 505 World Championship sponsored by SAP and APL and hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club, one team will rate somewhere between a favorite and an enigma. The skipper—Howard Hamlin of Long Beach, Calif.—won it all in […]
