The Race Committee started the day with Div B racing 9 & 10, with a North winds 18-20 knots sustained, with gusts up to 25 knots. The course was a Triangle with a windward finish to minimize the number of jibes necessary to complete the race.
Despite the RC's best attempt, several boats capsized, with many sailors not able to complete the course. After 2 races, high winds,coupled with several injuries, and numerous capsized boats, the decision was made to finish the day with 10 rounds completed.
