Regatta Results
Day one of the regatta had very light to very very very light winds.
The second race of the day was a really bad drifter with discussion of possibly
abandoning the race. However Shapoor Guzder finally reached the finish line
first with the rest of the fleet's applause heard across the water. The
last race had winds averaging 1.2 knots with gusts to 2.5 knots. We did
get three races in however. The next day the wind improved - 5 to 12 knots
shifting off the bluff. The 28 participants wrapped up the day with brats
on the beach and awards for the top ten places.
