LARC Moonlight Race #3

Sat. July 29, 2023

The first 2 Moonlight races did not go as planned, Mother Nature kept YANKING our chain, as the expression goes.  The first race had great wind at Skipper’s meeting but blew itself out by race time, making it impossible for the fastest boat to finish before motor time.  The second Moonlight race was the complete reverse.  We had no wind at the skipper’s meeting at 6pm, we set a short course and very few people believed we would have enough wind for a race.  This second race had great wind, mild temperatures and though it was cloudy and the moon popped out every once in a while, the wind was so nice that most people finished before it got dark.

So what do you think the odds are for nice wind this third Moonlight race on Saturday July 29?  Please send an email to stewartdanam@gmail.com with your intention to sail by Friday night.   If you have not raced in a LARC race this year, please include boat type/name, PHRF rating and the club in which you are a member.  We will have the skipper’s meeting at 6pm at Aqualand “X” dock.  At that time you will be given the course and your start time.  Again, please contact me by Friday night if you plan on sailing.

See you at Aqualand, Saturday  at “X” dock.

See you on the race course,  

Dana
