Witch Bay Pursuit Race August 19th 2017

We had a great turn out for the Rear Commodore’s Cup race to Witch Bay a few weeks ago - August 19th. The wind started out light from the South west and built slightly through the day. The race started by rounding Copper Island in the light air, catching some of the boats waiting for wind to round the island. The fleet then proceeded west and then south crossing tacks past Kipling and then between Scotties and Middle. Proceeding south upwind past Allen’s reef, the fleet then proceeded east on a long starboard tack between Railroad and Queer and down Andrew Bay. This long reach was just deep enough for a couple boats to launch their spinnakers and gain some ground towards the finish.

The final results were as follows.

Black Knight
Borderline
Rebel 2
Blondie
Sanity
Intrepid
Vindur
Scott’s and Water
Oh Boy
