Island Cup

After some delay, racing started at 11:30am in 5-7knts of SSE wind and sunshine that continued throughout the day. Wind lightened up around halfway through the day, slowing down rotations, but picked back up to finish the day out. Direction of breeze was fairly consistent, requiring few course adjustments. Thank you to our volunteer race committee for spending the day on the water and to shoreside support for lunch!

Racing was postponed at 10:30am to wait for more consistent breeze to fill in. Racing started around 11:50am but continued to be light and shifty throughout the day, requiring course changes and causing some races to need to be abandoned and restarted. Racing ended around 2:30pm due to a lack of wind. A round robin was not completed, however a total of 48 races were sailed over the weekend resulting in lots of time on the water. Thanks you to our PRO Taylor Smith, and our volunteer race committee including Cooper, Sam, Cam, Kira, Bayard, and the Orcas high school sailing team. Thank you also to Julia Soes of Sail Orcas for helping organize and host the regatta!
