Courageous Ross

Stunning skies and a mixed light breeze greeted the 18-boat fleet for the Richard Ross competitors at Courageous Sailing Centre today. A surprise visit from Dave Curtis of HDFA Photography (https://www.instagram.com/hdfaphotography?fbclid=IwY2xjawM795NleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFWdWVWMkZ0a2l2UWlJSEFzAR4za6Lh6AbCaIUqhaG07aa2PvAuTSuco9LZnFNb0eQinieTerQd4kyMHrsKig_aem_X-b5eDvGpKAWA_dqocxbKw) made the day even more perfect.

Seven races in building shifting breeze were sailed. The beginning of the day saw a light breeze with puffs, allowing the front half of the fleet to make serious gains while the back half drifted slowly, the current affecting them. The 3rd race saw a breeze coming, with the rest of the day in champagne conditions.

One Reece’s Race was held. Pizza greeted competitors after sailing as the Ross family came to speak about Richard’s start in sailing and his mission to make certain every child, regardless of background, would have an opportunity to sail. They presented awards to the top three competitors, with the Brown 3 team winning the regatta with four bullets.
