Wow what a day out on the water today. With rain in the forcast and a cloudy sky the fleet headed out with very light winds out of the South. There were 27 boats competeing in 4 different fleets which allowed the RC to groups boats with much closer phrf ratings than we normally see on a race night. We got off 3 races today for all fleets and had pretty steady winds of about 5-7 knots out of the South for most of the day. The usual dangers were lurking with a few holes closer to the middle of the course. The Eastern shore seemed to pay the most today with only one beat allowing the boats closer to the West to make gains. We sailed 3 solid races in fleet 1 and were very fortunate to turn in 3 bullets for our efforts. Shadowfax topped fleet 2, Le Papillon topped fleet 3 and Flatchat Too for the 525. We are hoping for very similar sailing conditions for tomorrows race.
