Race Report - Summer, Summer Solstice Race to 22 ft Bay

1) Grand Cru (Spin)
2) Sorcerer
3) Vixen
4) Borderline (Spin)
5) Raven (Spin)
6) Sloop
7) Scots
8) Anteus
9) Auberg (Spin)
10) Blondie
11) Oh Boy
12) Rapture

Places 1 to 5 are certain. Wind dropped off for a while and a number of boats packed it in early. So the remaining five boats agreed to a finishing order based on their PHRF and location on the course.

Wind started out north at 10 kts and dropped to very light and variable when the fleet started rounding Scotty Island. The fleet then spent the next few hours sailing on thermals and counting algae, save for Vixen, where it’s reported Eric was busy reading a book (believed to be “Twilight”). Eric felt justified in his actions as the book was due for return at the library this Tuesday. Evening activities including a retro music party onboard Anteus that promptly ended once Sheldon put on AC/DC and started playing air guitar in his underwear.
