2016 Spring Race Day #5 - May 7

What a beautiful day.  We had plenty of sun with light southerly breezes between 2 and 6 knots.  Eddie Zeiler once again did a great job of setting courses with good upwind legs where neither side was obviously favored.  That makes us have to actually think about what to do in a wind shift.

Contestants were:
Rendezvous with Keith, Joe Klingbeil and Kate McKenna
ZCat with Eddie and Frank
Bogy with George and Matt
Sirocco from GFLYC with George Yerger and our own Ron Nash
Reckless, a new boat and member at IMYC, with Mark Wiley and John Bomar


Sorry for no narrative - we were all too busy chasing the wrong wind shift.  But I did get a couple of pics.

Looks like Eddie is about to push Rendezvous out of his way in race #1.

Love the look of those two chutes in race #2!   Both C22s really did well on the down wind legs.

Congratulations Sirocco for winning the day as they prepare for the C22 nationals later this year.  Good work George and Ron. 

And kudos to Mark Wiley and crew aboard Reckless.  Despite his claims otherwise, he managed to look like he knew what he was doing by beating both Bogy and Rendezvous in the first race.
