The regatta was complete with 7 races. The ice was hard, smooth black ice with a few cracks and refrozen wet seams. There had been a dusting of snow, but snow was no factor. Saturday winds blew 9-12 mph and Sunday winds blew mostly 6-9 with winds dying for the last races to less than 6.
Tight racing and courses from 3/4 to one mile.
The R/C, after postponing for over 11 months, had a problem with finding trophies, which will be forwarded and/or mailed, and scoring went poorly. That being said, turnout was good, and great sailing!
