The first race was set “A,R,S” roughly around 5nm, with the race starting on time at 10:10am. There was plenty of wind, at least 10-15 knots. Only 6 of the 14 canoes registered raced this weekend. Mystery got the gun!
The second race started at 2:40pm with the course set the same “A,R,S” but twice around, roughly a 10nm course with steady 15+ knots of wind. Mystery capsized scoring a DNF (an omen of what was to come the next day), and Patricia capsized before the race and was unable to start, scoring a DNS. Island Blossom got the gun!
The last race of the weekend, set again “A,R,S x2” but slightly longer at roughly 10-11nm, started at 10:10am with plenty of wind and ran about 1hr 30min+. Patricia had jib trouble and ran aground fixing it, finishing last across the line. Mystery had a massive setback: the foremast gave way and broke in half nearing the finish, ending her race.
