Red Robin Series #1

"Ten skippers came to the pond to race in the season opener.

On a bright sunny day the conditions were cool but comfortable temperatures,

moderate winds from the WNW in 6 to 10 knots with the usual variability of Redd's Pond.

Ten races were completed with starting at the middle starting marks and going to the street end of the pond

and then to the cemetary marks and finishing at the starting marks.

A few of the races utilized a set Gate marks for the windward and for the leeward turning marks.

Generally worked well and reduced the usual contentious congestion at the turning marks.

The marks are installed and can be used in future races particularly when we have a significant turnout on race day."

After ten races the results were:

Biff Martin 12pts 1st

John Skerry 21pts 2nd
