Buffalo, Minnesota
Western Challenge
Day 1
Six races plus a practice race (for the RC) were sailed in a south breeze of 14-18kts. Temp was in the high 20's, partly cloudy.
The snow cover from thursday night wasn't much of an issue, and some racers were even using their quarter inch runners when the wind picked up.
We had a great turn out with 37 boats participating in the regatta. There were also a few nites..
Here are the preliminary results for the first day of the Western Challenge..
