It was our turn to be RC boat. As a power boat would be useful and expeienced help is always nice, I asked Eric Egge if he would come. And bring his boat, a beautiful classic wooden runabout. He and Todd Tindell did such a good job of running the races I was free to take these photos.
We anchored over the mud flats just North of KGY and drew a crowd of boats, including the Hobie 16, Canadian Laker, Soling, and Star shown.
The wind was officailly light, Force 0 to 2 Beaufort, but the boats were moving well. I say officailly light as the handcaps in our system, the Portsmouth Yardstick, vary with wind strength. This race was scored using light air handicaps.
A little after 1830 hrs. we started the racing. See the photos.
