Beautiful weather and fair breezes saturday allowed for some extremely close racing on the cove. Even after a three times around the fleet was still extremely tight. There was a big geographic shift on the right side of the course that you could get in and ride all of the way up the seawall to the mark. Big thanks to Alan, Sue and Gianpaolo for running races.
Sunday we had another functional powerboat so we took it out onto the Emeryville flats. It started out at around 10 knots wind with medium waves and built up to 20+ and huge waves as the day went on. A lot of us were just hanging on during that final twice around. Thanks to Jeff, Gianpaolo, Veronica, and Cassandra Allison for doing a great job with the RC.
The top four were pretty tight, but Harrison earned the Pacific coast championship by sailing consistently on both days.
A special thanks to Gianpaolo Tommasi for making a special effort and organizing a great event.
