Well it was another balmy Sunday- Sunny, nearly 70 degrees.... difficult to call it Frostbiting! The wind was light for the first couple races then filled in, eventually dying off during the last leg of race 5. A big thanks to the Race Committee volunteers. Ali Meller and Bruce Artman did a great job running races from the committee boat, assisted by Eric Dennis and Greg Virgin on the mark boat.
Bryan Fishback won the day- his report and full results are below. Morgan Wilson won this week's raffle prize- a Laser trademark baseball cap provided by APS.
See you all next Sunday, Jan 21- Same time, same place.
**** Please note- there will be no Laser Frostbiting on Jan. 28th due to the IC Midwinters****

Sunday January 14, 2007
Let me start by saying I think that Keith Davids should be writing this report. While he didn't win for the day, it was only because he didn't sail all the races. When he did race, he was consistently in the front from start to finish and no matter the wind strength. He had good to great starts, sailed fast, went the right way and had smooth mark roundings. I on the other hand struggled to stay with the leaders both upwind and down, especially when it got light, and only after holding even or not losing too much, managed to get into the top 5, sometimes, by hitting the last leg correctly. So for what it is worth, here is what I saw from my middling of the pack seat.
Upwind- The breeze direction was reasonably consistent(there was the odd big shift), but the velocity varied significantly from side to side. The dying system breeze, early on, seemed to favor the left more often, whereas later in the day, the local thermal breeze would fill in from the right with a little more pressure and right shift. The issue was that sometimes it would drop in close to shore and other times not. I tried looking upwind before the start to see if the left breeze looked strong, if it did, then I would go left, but if it didn't, then I would would work the middle-right trying to keep out of the dead zone close to shore, but still take advantage of the right shifts.
Downwind- The leg was generally a no-gybe situation, so keeping clear air and looking for shafts of breeze was key. Sometimes when I rounded with a pack and the breeze look OK from the Back Creek direction I would dive low early to keep clear. Otherwise, I would stay a little channel side of the rhume line where the breeze felt stronger early. Later on down the leg it was sometimes hard to get low, so then I would sail more aggressively by-the-lee just whenever the pressure was up. Sometimes the timing worked out, sometimes not.
Finish- I would look left for pressure and clear air because the last leg was more starboard tack oriented. Given that the leeward mark was somewhat tucked into the harbor, I stayed away from those tempting right hand shifts which did not always have a lot of pressure. For the most part, the left is where I would pass the most boats and get back into the race.
