What a day!
We got in a total of 14 races on Saturday.
5 gold
5 silver
4 opti
It was a great day with the temps warm and the wind moderate. The ice was smooth and fast!
More to follow.. (like opti scores..) and pictures
Sunday wasn't too shabby
We got only one race in both the Gold and Silver fleets. The wind was light and variable. The race was a fun race anyway.
That was a fun three days with it blowing dogs off chains on Friday and light and variable by Sunday.
Great event
That was an incredible day of sailing and I want to say THANK YOU to all the volunteers who help put together a great event.
Will
Saturday 5 races
75 DN's on the sweetest ice with 10-13 MPH winds on Saturday was the best ice racing day of my life. This is how you get hooked on the sport. Thanks to the new ATV from Wisconsin, the scoring ladies, and all those who made it possible.
Mike
