Saturday's report: The day started with 30+ kts of winds, rolling
seas, and a postponement ashore. The weather forecasters were
predicting a mid-afternoon window where the breeze would die down to
15-20 kts, so we braced and prepared. After weathering a squall line
on the water, the RC was able to squeeze in three races per division
before the front cleared and brought with it strong WNW winds.
Sunday's report: Even with an arrival time of 0700, the weather did
not cooperate. Winds gust consistently in the 25-35 kt range
prevented any sailing. The RC waited until 1000 before abandoning
for the day. Indian Harbor YC treated the competitors, their
coaches, and their families to a wonderful awards lunch compete with
a raffle (compliments of Vanguard) and pictures for all of the
competitors (from photoboat.com compliments of IHYC membership).

Special thanks to Jonathan and Karin Nye (Event Chairs), Jeff
Merz (PRO), Ron Hopkins (Chief Judge), and the many other volunteers
and staff from the Indian Harbor YC.
Next year's Cressy will be held in the Northwest District. |
