Yesterday was my turn to be Race Committee in my club’s fall series. It was blowing 20-30mph, gusting 30-40mph. And I was stuck running the races from the RC boat, instead of racing my 30-1. It was easily the windiest day in a CSYC race this year. Everyone was way de-powered and still rounding up. I ran two races of length about 45 minutes each. If I’d been able to race Grenadine, I’m pretty sure I could have beat the fleet by 8-10 minutes in those races, flying probably a single-reefed main and working jib (or maybe even 130% genoa). I chose my RC date way back in April. That’s how the cookie crumbles.
