Al Sweeps KB July Races

We had gentle, shifting breezes mostly from the West on Saturday, July 25 for the keel boat and dinghy races. Everyone started at the same time, thanks to David L for timing the dinghies.

The following Sunday, there was too much wind, so sailors practiced screaming reaches, but there were no races.

Unfortunately, on Sunday the weather did not clear up in time for the races.

Wendy and Roger get firsts

Sunday July 12, a mix of winds from the south made for interesting racing. There wasn’t enough wind to set a reach mark, but occasionally we got a good puff, and then again occasionally there wasn’t much wind at all. And of course, the wind shifted unpredictably from side to side. So, results varied among the four races:

A breezy moment between races

July 11 races

Typical Falcon Lake summer weather; nice breeze, allegedly coming from the North, but with lots of shifts to make sailing interesting.
