CR 914 Red Robin Series Race #3 (04/24/2016)
On Sunday, April 24, 9 Racers braved the cold and the winds to race. We used a new course featuring shortened legs with two laps being sailed. Starts were at the starting Blue marks starting line, rounding the Cemetery side orange mark and then returning to the white mark at the fence opening then back to the Orange cemetery mark, back to the white mark and finish at the blue starting line.
The winds were out of the ENE at 8 to 10 knots and were relatively steady in direction and velocity. Great conditions to sail in. Because of the wind direction, the course provided a true beat and run for the majority of the time. Everyone liked the course and felt that it provided fair sailing, challenging beats and lots of tactical decisions required. Racing was very close throughout the day.
To be noted, in the rush to provide results to the skippers, I made a Throwout error in the addition process. . After correction the Results with 2 throwouts were:
1. Tom Hayden 19 Pts (T) 3 firsts, 2 seconds
2. Al Fearn 19 Pts (T) 3 firsts, 1 second
3. Brian Yanofsky 21 Pts
4 Paul Zimmerman 22 Pts
5 Biff Martin 26 Pts
6 John Storrow 39 Pts
7 Jack Woods 52 Pts
8 Norm LeBLanc 63 Pts
9 Hatch Brown 69 Pts
