2010 Spring Series May 16, 2010
We started the 2010 Racing season with a wonderful breeze from the East/South East of 8-12 knots. The tune ups earlier in the month were canceled.
The Endeavor 2,1,1
Gracie 1,2,2
Osprey DNS,3,3
The first and second races were decided by 1/2 a boat length and 2 feet, respectively. The Endeavor was first to the windward mark each leg of the race with over 900 lbs of 4 crew. Then Gracie did a great job accelerating on the down wind legs with its three person lighter crew. Great Racing!
