Lots of action on the KSC racing scene, including updated season results, and the Catamaran Regatta on Sat Aug 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catamaran Regatta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The wind was forecast to be 8 gusting 12, or 10 gusting 18, or somewhere around there (depending on forecast model used). In other words, perfect cat wind! The reality was… a bit less aggressive. Low base wind, but infrequent gusts of around 10 knots could give the sailors a bit of a thrill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had 6 participants in the regatta, Jean, Annie, Olivier (in a RS-CAT16) and Ken, Martin, Hong (in a Hobie 18). We sailed a windward-leeward course, which is more typical of cat races than the triangle we use on Wednesdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got three 30-40 minute races in, all told. Ken, Martin, and Hong were nailing their starts, especially in the 3rd race (crossing the line with speed about a second after the whistle). The gusts were favouring Ken, Hong and Martin, at one point even having them fly a hull! Meanwhile, the lulls were thwarting Jean, Olivier and Annie, hurting their upwinds. They were holding their own and making up time on the downwinds, but not enough to outpace the Hobie’s upwind gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to prior comittments of some of the racers, we elected to skip lunch and race until 12:30 before calling it a day. At the end of it all, we had 3 races, 3 victories for the Hobie 18, and 3 second-place finishes for the RS-CAT16. Thanks to all for coming out! Maybe we’ll get a few more boats on the start line next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weekly Racing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The weather has not been cooperative on Wednesdays, forcing us to cancel three (THREE!!!!) weeks of racing in a row – it’s either been thunderstorms and huricanes, or absolutely dead air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were able to get a couple of nights in recently though… A (very) light wind Jul 31 race saw 2 of the 9 boats finish and the others having to abandon (which means they all tied for 3rd). Aug 7 was a bit better, getting 3 races in, although still a light-wind night. Our instructor Danika got out with Steve in the fabled 29er and even got the spinakker up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the light wind, the night had some of the closest action I’ve seen at KSC in a while — 3 boats were seconds apart at the start line for the third race. Tom and Yours Truely even had an RS-CAT16 battle with Jean\/Liz\/Karen with the two equally matched boats trading places all the way along the first legs of the race (until a tactical mistake by myself allowed them to walk away on the second upwind). Good times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated season stats below. I don’t think there’s much hope of catching Steve at this point (his “drop races” include a 1st place finish) but there’s still lots of opportunity to move around in the rest of the standings. Special shout-out to 11-year-old Nora who’s sitting in 5th place, despite having to deal with Mike holding her back \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
