Central Spring Qualifier
Princeton University
April 4-5, 2009
Saturday:
Sailors were greeted at Raritan Yacht Club this morning with a ripping
25-30 knots, with gusts occasionally above 40 knots. The Race
Committee went out to observe the conditions and found heavy breezes
far from the dock and incredibly shifty wind close to the dock, with
3-4 foot swells in both areas. After delaying to 11am, the A Fleet
set out to race, but due to a high number of capsizes the race was
postponed and the fleet returned to shore. The Race Committee
continued to search for a possible race site but were unable to find
an area that was safe and large enough for a race course. With weather
reports predicting that the wind would only pick up as they day went
on, the day's racing was called off at 1:30pm.
No results to report.
Special thanks to PRO Vicky Jo Reiner and Ann Myer from Raritan Yacht
Club for helping out with Race Committee, and the coaches who went out
for support purposes.
All teams should report to Raritan Yacht Club at 8:45am on Sunday
April 5.
