Shields Fall Series Race #1 report from #74

Weather forecast:
SE 5-10 mid-day, going E 5-10 in the afternoon and evening. Winds diminishing late night then back to E 5-10 Thursday morning. Tide low at 2:58 pm.

The wind at race time was more like SE 6-11. Curtis noticed the wind was more E on the left side of the course and more SSE on the right side, but he felt the wind was stronger on the left.

The weather leg was short and the starting line was fairly long with plenty of room for everyone to get a clear lane at the start. We liked the pin end for several reasons and got a very good run at it, building speed for about 6 seconds and nailed the line near the pin at full speed. Before the start we did range the line using Portsmouth’s “skyscraper” as the land mark. A few minutes later, still on starboard tack, we started to nose into that left shift Curtis noticed before the start and immediately tacked to port and in-phase. We first looked to be about one hundred yards below the port tack lay line, but as we crossed every starboard tack boat (very close to 101, 181 224 and 138) we continued to lift as the wind came even more left and with the current on the lee bow we were pushed right up to the windward mark about 10 yards in front 101 the second place boat. All alone at the mark we pre-set our pole on the leeward (starboard) side of the boat in order to have a very fast hoist, and bare-away set and the pole in place ready to go. 1/3 down the leeward leg with Dwight on the sheets and Christine on the pole we jibed to port which put us just about on the lay-line to the left gate. We were still on the lead, with only one tack and one jibe so far. After rounding the gate it was no problem to loose cover the few boats nearest us as they tended to stay bunched instead of split for the corners.

Sometimes things just go right. Last Wednesday was one of those times. Thanks to our fiends and sailors on IDA, it was a nice day and a nice course.

Congratulations to Wendy in 138, she is having a great year in ALL of her sailing.
