Race Summary by Paul Hull
That’s not a piece of wood,
it’s a whole tree.” My crew, Del Walter, really captured one half of the
conditions at the 2007 Len Penso with this comment. The other half consisted of
unpredictable shifts in direction and velocity which made many of us feel like
we were sailing in a blender with a lunatic on the speed control. Consider these
statistics from the results:
Every boat had a finish in the
top 4.
Four of the eight boats won
races.
6 boats, including second place
used a last or next to last place finish for their throw out.
The unpredictable shifts and
incredible amount of junk in the water attaching to your centerboard and rudder
and getting stuck in the trunk made managing disaster the key to success in this
regatta. Bud Dailey who sailed with Christian Ostberg to win the regatta was one
of at least three boats to capture the weather mark. (Kevin attempted to
actually remove it from the course.) That notwithstanding they made less
mistakes then everyone else. Charlie and Douglas Krafft saved their errors for
the last races but still had an outstanding regatta. Amy Krafft, off to England
the day following the regatta still found time to sail with Brooke Edgecomb and
make a pot of chili for the picnic. She also discovered the value of calling
tactics and letting Brooke steer.
Sailing at PRSA is always
challenging and fun. Thanks to RC chair Daphne Byron for a great series. The
wind always seemed to come back to square up the line and even when the beat
looked one sided it just wasn’t. It was awful easy to sail toward breeze coming
in and watch it evaporate and fill on the other side. Thanks as well to Jennifer
Parrow who helped on the RC boat and to the crash boat operators.
Thanks to Amy and Sue Dailey
for a great after race picnic.
