Like Bob, I am still also waiting for approval from TechScore. I will have this all entered in as soon as I am approved. Until then, this will have to do for now.
OU April Fool’s Regatta University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City Boat Club Oklahoma City, OK April 1, 2012 Sunday morning sailors arrived to breezy conditions around 17 mph. The race committee decided conditions were safe to race and we started the first race at 10:15 am. Though the conditions were extremely challenging, all 6 teams started the first race in 420’s. During the first race one boat capsized and another boat had a breakdown (hull and deck separated on starboard side near shroud plate, allowing the starboard tank to completely fill with water) that also prevented them from sailing the second race since there was not a substitute boat. By 11 am, the wind had built to 25 mph with gusts to 35 mph. All 5 remaining boats started the second race and finished. After the first set, racing was postponed by the race committee for one hour to assess the high wind conditions. The wind remained at a constant 25-35 mph, and the race committee decided the conditions were unsafe for the sailors and equipment. Racing was cancelled for the rest of the day. Unfortunately due to the high wind conditions, we were unable to complete enough races to constitute a regatta. We would like to thank all the teams who took the time to travel to our regatta, the race committee, safety and mark boats, and everyone else who helped out.
