Saturday, November 16
---------------------
The Fall Pacific Coast Championship brought once again unpredictable
conditions leading up to the day of the event. Forecasts that called
for strong weekend breeze early in the week changed radically to
drifter predictions the day before. But per Santa Barbara standards,
whatever was expected was thrown out the window. A completely glassy
ocean turned into a west-southwest breeze of about 5 knots just before
the scheduled warning time of 10:45am. The day got increasingly more
beautiful as it went on with the wind getting up in the 8-10 knot
range and shifting right to 235 degrees. Racing was very condensed in
the top to middle of the fleet and made for tight mark roundings on
the varsity course and somewhat inconsistent finishes from most teams.
The three divisions of FJ’s made for easy rotation and racing
constantly going on all the way until 4:45pm when the sun began to set
and the wind began to die down and shift left to a 210 breeze
direction. Boats made it to shore in the slowly dying breeze and
derigged as the full moon rose overhead casting light on the fleet.
The RC was able to get off 24 races (8 for each division) on the
varsity course and 16 races (8 for each division) on the JV course.
There were three protests filed on Saturday with one resulting in a
DSQ in the varsity B division and another being disallowed. The third
protest was a JV protest and resulted in a DSQ in the B division.
After one day, Stanford leads the three division event with a 19 point
lead and UCSB leads the two division event with a 10 point lead. UCSB
leads the JV division after one day.
A huge thank you to our volunteer Race Committee, including PRO
Kathleen Baushke and co-PRO Carson Shevitz with assistance from Lucas
Pierce. Gaucho alumni, John Long and Willie McBride helped with course
management.
