Day 1 of the McIntyre team race brought interesting conditions. We started the day with a light 5 kt SE breeze that held on for most of the morning and ended the day with a NW 21 kt breeze. We had a small delay in the morning but then raced all day getting in the whole first round and 9 races into the second round. There was one protest heard resulting in both teams getting DSQ. A big thank you to Coach Clinton Hayes and his crew of Stanford undergrads for running races. A big thanks to Bryan McDonald and his totally awesome umpire crew for keeping racing fair and moving. More racing on tap tomorrow!
Day 2 of the McIntyre started identical to day one. Sailors were greeted to glassy conditions. After a postponement of an hour the breeze filled in from the SE and we sailed most a few races in a 5-8kt SSE breeze. As the flood came in to redwood creek the breeze slowly moved towards the W and we finished the round 2 and a final four in a nice 12-15kt Westerly. A big thank you to a hard working RC crew of Stanford undergrads and coach Hayes! Also a big thank you again the the umpire crew of Bryan McDonald, Viki Sodoro, John Christman, Grant Baldwin, Mike Gross, Glenn Oliver and Don Wieneke. The umpire crew was joined with Stanford sailing undergrads.
Congrats to Stanford on the win!
