Star Class Intro…

Day 6

Star Class

A good day for us; 2, 1. The day got off to a late start as the wind was blowing in excess of 25 knots this morning. At 1300 the postponement flag came down signaling that the first start would be a 1430. We headed out to the track and were pleasantly surprised to see […]

Day 5

Star Class

We were in boat preservation mode today and got a fourth. The wind was 25-30 knots from 080 max; gust 32 knots.. Quite a bit windier than any other day so far. Mains sails ragging upwind and mast snapping downwind. We rounded the first mark first show with good speed upwind. On the run we […]

Day 7

Star Class

Short one for now at least. I have to go make a speech to the USA Elite Optimist Team that are training here this weekend. The bottom line is that we beat our man 3 out of 3 times today. He is no longer our man. Someone else is. Tomorrow we have to get one […]

Day 4

Star Class

Today started off as normal. Wake up at 0700, gym for a 15 minute warm up, upstairs to stretch, shower, down to the center to weigh in at 0800. We got the forecast and saw that it was going to be breezy, so we changed to our spare rig and were back to our apartment […]

Day 3

Star Class

A tough day today, especially for the race committee. We had two weather systems fighting each other and the transition was right over Biscayne Bay. A cold front is expected here about now and should swing the wind into the NNW. As we towed in after todays one and only race, this was starting to […]

Day 2

Star Class

A good one for us today. The forecast was for 8-12 knots from 060-090 and that was spot on. Even the forecast called for a left shift in the first race then a right trend for the second race and that was pretty good. The wind oscillated around the averages all day so you had […]

Day 1

Star Class

The forecast for today was 17-22 knots from 70-90 degrees and it was right on. We changed to our spare mast for today thinking that it would be bad to damage our #1 rig on the first day of an 8-day regatta. After a hour and a half postponement, we headed out. We are sailing […]

Star Class

We got out early today to check a few jibs before anyone had left the dock. Then we tuned for an hour with Andy Lovell and Magnus Liljedahl. Felt pretty good about things and headed in. We measured our sails, did a few little things and I left the boat park around 1500. John Craig […]

Measurement for Trials

Star Class

Just a short one tonight. I flew in last night. We go the safety equipment, boat and spars measured today and got out for a short sail around 1600. We were the only one to go out as most everyone has been sailing here all week. It was a very nice 12 knots from the […]
