Early on Wednesday morning, the opti and 420 race teams geared up and sailed over to the Bass River Invite. The breeze was strong and the waves were rocking our sailors around. A big congratulations to all of our participants who worked hard to overcome the chaotic wind and waves all day. A special shout out to Sebastian Halpern-Reiss for placing 2nd in the blue fleet! Way to go!
As the racers were at Bass River, the other classes held down the fort here at WDYC . The beginner and intermediate opti classes stayed close off the dock due to the strong breeze. The beginner kids had three in boat but were keeping it flat and worked on hiking out.
The 420 team worked on their starts and accelerating off the line. They did a series of races to prepare for New Bedford this weekend. A reminder to the Race Team-A you will be de-rigging the boats Thursday after class and the trailer will be departing from WDYC on Friday at 1:00. You will rig the boats Friday afternoon at NB and have them ready to go for Saturday morning. You are meeting at WDYC at 6:00 am on Saturday to depart for New Bedford. Registration begins at 7:30 and harbor start is at 9:00.
