Hobie 16 and Hobie 20 North American Championsh?ips continue

by Rich Mcveigh on 22 Jun 2012 Day 4 of the Hobie 16 and Hobie 20 North American Championsh?ips in Sausalito, California delivered cool temperatures and strong winds. Racing began at approximately 11:30am with 54 degrees and 22 knots of breeze.

The wind quickly increased to 25-30 at the weather mark but racing was close. At one point the second, third and fourth place boats pitch poled and went into a righting race.

Mark Modderman was chastising his crew for not getting the righting line out fast enough. Ryan (his crew) responded that he was trying to breathe but Mark pointed out that 'breathing was optional, just get the righting line before the boat goes upside down.'

Only one race was completed today as the wind increased to 30 plus after the completion of the first race. The protest committee was in action last night and a few fiberglass repairs were needed, while we socialized at Sausalito Yacht Club.

In the 16 class Enrique (Quique) FIGUEROA/Christian MAYSONET (PUR) continue to lead with all bullets, Francisco FIGUEROA/Jolliam BERRIOS (PUR) remain in second.

In the 20 class Mark LEWIS/Tiffany LEWIS (USA) continue to lead followed by Phil COLLINS/Bev COLLINS (USA).
