It was a glorious February day with May weather: sunshine and enough warmth to get by with only 2 layers of clothing. AND there was wind. Not too much and not so little that you couldn’t get around the race course. The day started with Sunrise coffee at the Skippers Meeting followed by a last minute rush to sign up for the race. Four classes were delineated: Racers (A class), Cruisers (B Class), small boats (C class), and the 505 fleet of 5. The race got underway by noon, after a short delay to let the wind settle on a direction. Two committee boats formed the start line: Comet and Azure. Two other boats, the Martha J, captained by Don D’Allesandro, and a runabout operated by Eric, set marks and provided a safety net for the smaller boats. The A class went around the large triangle course twice, the B Fleet time was taken for once around when it became apparent that many would not complete the twice -around course in the time allotted.
