Star Mid Winter Championship - Overall report

by Paul Cayard on 7 Jan 2017
2016 Star Mid Winter Championship Marco Oquendo http://www.imagesbymarco.com
Only one race was held today on Biscayne Bay and it was trying. The race committee postponed ashore again today waiting for wind and finally around 13:30 a feeble southeasterly breeze filled in at five knots. The wind died throughout the race to less than one knot at the finish.

Josh and I had a good start and sailed well to lead at the first mark. The wind was getting spotty on the first downwind leg and Augie Diaz found good pressure off the right side and moved from sixth to a close second. Josh and I held the lead at the second windward mark with Augie and Arnie right in our tail but with a huge gap back to third by this time.

The wind dropped to two knots at this point. 3/4’s of the way down the final run to the finish, Augie gybed away, again to the right, and it was too light to cover (match). The little wind that there was then shifted 60 degrees in his favor and he won the race. Jack Jennings passed us as well. We were lucky to get third as the wind kept shifting and we almost could not get to the finish line.

We finished sixth overall for the Walker Cup and are in that position going into the final two days of the Mid Winter Championship.

Star Winter Series-Thursday

Tomorrow’s forecast is for 12-15 knots from the South Southwest. We should be able to get three races in. Sundays forecast is for strong wind. Unfortunately I have to leave tomorrow night so Sundays forecast doesn’t really matter to us.
