traditional regatta hosted by SAF Yacht Club. The first day of the race proved to be somewhat more challenging for everyone. Dramatic changes in wind velocity and direction surprised everyone and it was a total game changer throughout the day. Sunday began with moderate wind and nearly flat conditions, but the breeze gradually became stronger throughout the day. The race committee did a great job responding
to the shifting conditions. Several boats fought hard to gain ground, some eventually capsized. It was amazing how the sailors expertly managed to get back in the race after taking a tumble. Training hard definitely pays off! There was no awarding ceremony for the winners to prevent crowds/ gatherings. Complete final results can be found on our website!
