Last Saturday, July 11 at 11am, we had our second planned Keelboat race of the season and 5 boats lined up for the start. The weather was fine with some overcast and with winds from 5 to 10 knots with gusts of 15.After the signal Brian and Rick took off with a perfect start with Henk and Rodger trailing behind where after each took their course and planned the tack to the first buoy. Nabil entered the race a little late but we where all happy to see that he made it.
We all sailed close together and Henk and Wenona took the lead but after rounding the second buoy Rick and his helmsman from the Dominican Republic who brought some Caribbean flavour to the race took over the lead and ended the race at the first place with Henk second and Brian and Alfredo passed the finish line third and Rodger tried to catch up.
We thank Rich, the judge of the race, and Martin the assistant, for their time and imput.
All in all we had a fun race and we hope we can count next race on more participants.
See you all next Race.
