Race 2 Report:
On 107, we hit the water early on Wednesday and had time to sail up to the Dumplings and back in the solid 16 to 18 knot breeze with higher gusts. The tide was flooding, but not too intensely; still, it seemed that the conventional wisdom of heading for Jamestown to get out of the flood would hold, so that was our gameplan. The course, as we expected, was up to the second Dumplings bell and back to the special mark in the corner by the bridge.
The only snag was that we ended up reaching down the line from the committee boat a bit to be sure we didn’t get pushed over by Kim in 143 and Stubby in 59, so when we started (“You were all 15 seconds late,” says Ted Fischer who was on RC duty salivating at the chance to call some of his friends over early), we had several boats to windward and had to wait for them to tack before we could do the same. Still, we held our lane on a nice lift on the long port tack toward Jamestown with 217 and 224 immediately to leeward and a gradually easing breeze.
We tacked for the first bell at Dumplings well to leeward of Scott Ferguson in 254 who was leading the right side. Lucky for us Scott and several others overstood the bell; we passed it in second just to leeward of 254, only to both be crossed by Will Welles in 226 who marched in from Fort Adams in the lead. We followed both 226 and 254 up by Clingstone and perhaps because the breeze had backed a little, we weren’t getting the big gusts we’d had on our practice run; in fact the breeze got mealier and Jeff Gladchun in 108 came in on the port layline and passed both 254 and us. Although we didn’t see it, rumor has it that Jeff took an extra tack along the fort and came all the way across on the layline, almost catching 226 in the process. So much for conventional wisdom.
With the slightly backed breeze and plenty of flood, the run turned into a starboard tack parade, with Peter on 224 coming from several lengths back to within a couple lengths of our transom, as we also closed up even tighter on 254 and 108. Near Goat Island, Scott snuck in a nice jibe in front of us to protect the inside at the leeward mark, and we later jibed also when Peter hit a slow spot. For the benefit of the spectators, we caught our port spin sheet on the headknocker while jibing and wound up rounding into a mild broach; fortunately Matt dumped the spin sheet and we preserved our position, but we were late on our takedown and rounded the mark without any pace. Behind us, 224 had a perfect rounding and rolled right over us. To get current relief by Goat Island, we tacked to starboard with 254 on our leebow, but 224 blew by both of us in better breeze despite the stronger current to the right. Peter and crew were going so fast they passed 108 as well by the finish. I’m sure Will in 226, our national champ, was looking over his shoulder as he got the gun.
