2014-2015 Miami Star Winter Series - Walker Cup-Midwinters - Update from Paul Cayard.

Three races were sailed today on Biscayne Bay for the Star fleet. The wind was great: 15-18 from the northeast.


Augur Diaz had a great day winning two of the races and Lars Grael continued to do well edging us for the win in race one. We were in the hunt in all three races with better speed than yesterday in the breeze.

We got second in race one then fifth in the second race with Augie and Lars ahead of us.

However, things turned ugly for us on the final run of the final race. We rolled too far to windward, stuck the wisker pole in the water and broke the mast. That in turn shreds the mainsail so what we have is big, expensive mess.

I should have been more cautious. It was the end of a long hard day and we were in third place which would have moved us up to second overall. But I lapsed my concentration just for a second and that was that. And a quick 30 points added to our score so we are now in 11th place.

So we got towed back to the dock, cleaned up the mess, had a cheeseburger, and rigged one of my other masts.
We are pretty much out of contention for this regatta and since it is a double counter, we will probably be out of the running for the Winter Series overall.

But that’s racing!

Two races on the card for tomorrow and it should be a bit windier than today at 20-25 knots still from the northeast.
