<DIV>OK everybody, the (rusty) big guns will be out in force - Carlos
checking in for Knox, which I agree often has the most interesting strategies
of the entire season.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Glad you could make it Pete, your previous emails made it sound like you
would miss the S Bay races. I was snowed under, ordering cabinets while
on sale at IKEA, that sort of thing - sure would have preferred being on the
water! Thank you for your summary of an exciting day.</DIV>

Down! Who is coming out on the 9th?<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Dear
Santanians.<BR><BR>The weekend before last was some of the best white
sails racing I have been in over the last two years. We had 5 boats
out and in both races all 5 finished within 2 minutes of each other.
There was never a feeling of sailing alone at the back or top of the
fleet. The day was summed up by Michael Kennedy when in the midst of
a downwind duel for first, he turned to me with a huge smile on his face
and yelled "Isn't this awesome!" Michael, congratulations on jumping
out in the thick of things on your first race! <BR><BR>In the 1st race we
came in last, and I hope Tackful can chime in with some of what they did
right to come out in first. Things not to do are be late at the gun
and sail into less pressure on the beat to the finish. There was a
reason we were the only boat going off to the left after the leeward
rounding... <BR><BR>In the 2nd race we tacked in underneath Tackful at the
boat end and managed to get them on barging. We had a fair start and
worked on covering the rest of the boats and not getting out of touch with
the fleet. We nicked the windward mark trying to shoot it and by the
time we had done a 360 Pariah had caught up with us. The whole fleet
compressed with the boats behind attacking those ahead with their wind
shadow. I feel we were able to break away by the leeward mark by
sailing a slightly hotter angle. Pariah split from the fleet and
sailed off to the left. We didn't want to go over there after our
experience in the first race, but also wanted to cover so we split the
difference after working over to the right a bit. At the finish we
were impressed to see that Tackful had worked back up into 3rd(?) even
after having to spin at the start. <BR><BR>The results are online in the
ODCA section of the YRA site:<BR><BR><A
href="http://www.yra.org/ODCA/odca_race_results.html">http://www.yra.org/ODCA/odca_race_results.html</A><BR><BR>Michael
Kennedy (Pariah) is not included for some reason. We're trying to
get that sorted out. <BR><BR>The next race will be at Knox on June
9th. Current and wind made this a very exciting race last year, with
the lead changing hands many times over the first race. Get out on
the course early and try to figure out the conditions. Don't forget
to consult your tide book! <BR><BR>Can we have a show of hands for who
plans to
attend?<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR>Pete<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
