Hobie 16 and Hobie 20 North American Championships day 1

by Rich McVeigh on 19 Jun 2012 Day 1 of the Hobie 16 and Hobie 20 North American Championships began today in Sausalito, CA

Races started promptly at noon today. Initially it was a bit foggy and the wind was not fully filled in. The course was set just west of Angel Island with the weather mark just to the right center of the Golden Gate.

The first race saw winds of 10-20 from the SW. Staying in the breeze was the challenge for the first race. The fog cleared for the second race and the thermal came in. The wind was more stable but also stronger.

The third race of the day was in strong wind. Our PRO was only measuring 20ish from his position but it was 25+ at the top of the course.
The tide had switched to ebb for the third race substantially increasing the wave action.

Enrique (Quique) Figueroa/Christian Maysonet (PUR) lead the 16 class followed by Francisco Figueroa/Jolliam Berrios (PUR).

In 20 class George Pedrick/Gene Harris (USA) lead followed by Mark Zimmer/Kim Cooper (USA).
