Double Daves Capture 2018 Distance
Race in Perfect Weather
From: Richardson, David Hi Al Missed
you on the weekend. I hope David is feeling better.
You would have enjoyed the long distance race. Perfect
10- to 15-knot breezes with occasional gusts to 20. We
will see you at the W/CL regatta at MSC or at the
Canadians in Parry Sound. Dave
From: Hansman, Dave Hi Al: Wish you had been here. What a
fantastic day of sailing for the LDR. We could
not have asked for more. Want to plane under
spinnaker? We had that. Want to plane on a
reach? We had that. Totally delightful but
never overpowering.
Ross and
Lori Jamieson were the RC, using their power boat to
accompany us.
We decided on an LDR that was totally
within the Bay, doing a double circuit of the marks in
the bay rather than go to J5 in the main lake.
We started at the club as usual , going to 6 and then
around the islands, but instead of heading out the
channel, we took a run down wind to 2, over to 1 and
back to 3 – just like our finishes in the past.
However, this time, when rounding 3 we went back to 6
and repeated the circuit, heading back to the club
after 3 on the second time around (see map
attached). The winds built as the day went
on. A great ride and a lot of work! Starting
time 11:10:00 Finishing
position and times as follows: 1.

been able to enjoy what we did today. Best regards, Dave
