Edgartown Pictures

420-Report
Coach Ryan and the 420-A team had a competive two days at Edgartown Jr. Regatta. Due to the wind, the first day was canceled and they were forced to shop around Edgartown and enjoy Murdick's Fudge. After a nice day of rest and relaxation, they reported to Chappy early on Friday to fix boats and rig for the first day of racing. The wind was consistently blowing between 10-15. While they struggled to get off the starting line in the large fleet at the start of the day,  they made the necessary adjustments to improve their racing. After a long day of 8 races, they sailed back into Chappy. On Saturday morning, they set out again for the race course. The wind was shifty throughout the day which challenged our sailors to be ready for any condition. They finished a total of 6 races on Saturday to complete the regatta (totaling 14 races). After an exhausting two days of racing, the sailors packed up the 420's and headed to Vineyard Haven to board the ferry. A BIG thank you to the Warner and Sullivan families for delivering the coach boat back to West Dennis YC. Another big thank you to the Halpern-Reiss's for delivering hardware to our 420 sailors and hosting our WDYC parents to cheer our on our sailors!
