ANNOUNCING PERFORMANCE SAIL AND SPORT'S World Wave Federation "Arena Sailing" "Short Course" Friday Night Series
Since our viewing public has grown with the opening of Grills Tiki Bar next door we are changing our race format to a new shorter experimental course, designed to be closer and more exciting for the spectators. The new course will have much shorter legs with 2 short windwards, one short leeward and 2 longer reaches for excitement. We call it "Arena Sailing". If you are interested in joining the fun we will meet here at Performance Sail and Sport at 5pm every friday in August and race till dark (rain-outs will be added at the end). The cost is $40 if you have your own boat and that includes on-site storage for the series. We will be chartering our boats nightly for $40 for each of the series nights (thats 3 hours for the price of one hour). Sign-up soon
The winds were at a steady 8-10mph. We had Matt McDonald, Scott Hubel, Drey Willis, Kent Cooper, Brian Karr, Ethan Frederick, and InterTad, a newby to the friday night series . There was no hull flying or capsizing, because this week we tried team racing and handicapping the contestants by making the lead boat at each mark do a 360 turn. This was a new twist in this Friday night racing that just may warrant a pre-race, tactical briefing on team racing this next week. It was a cerebral shake-up. This week we had no real outstanding performance to warrant a "Peoples Choice Award". Congratulations contestants. Our nex race is Friday September 3rd. We have our 6th boat out this week for team racing (Thanks Brian) . We will be chartering boats nightly for this event so get on our list. Hope for wind. World Wave Federation RESULTS:
