2010 World Championships Day 1 — No Racing

July 12th, 2010

Dear Friends,
Today was a day of hurry-up-and-wait-for-wind, with an exclamation point of excitement at the end of the day where we had to race a squall into shore!  We were lucky to emerge from the day unscathed — our sails hardly luffed — while two teams bent or broke masts, and many teams ruined equipment.  [...]

Princess Sofia Regatta Day 3 — No Racing

March 30th, 2010

After all the anticipation, we did not have any races today. It was windy this morning…

And then only got windier and wavier…

We were postponed on shore until about 3:30 pm, at which point they cancelled us for the day. While the wind was manageable, the waves were so large that a beach launch [...]
