Qualifying Complete, in 18th and Gold Fleet at the Europeans!
We had another puffy, shifty, offshore breeze for the final two qualifying races at the Europeans. We scored a 12-13, and we are now in 18th overall. It was a truly challenging day on the water, and we showed we are nearly there at the top. In both races, we were in the top five on the third and final lap!
We had two good starts, enabling us to sail our own race from the start. This proved highly valuable, as the puffs coming off of the shore on the left side allowed us to get across the course ahead of nearly all the boats on the right. We had solid boat-handling all the way around the course on the first race, just to get caught on the wrong side of one shift on the final beat. We lost five boats in the blink of an eye. I guess
that’s sailboat racing!
In another highlight, we carried a Velocitek GPS Speed Puck on our boat today. These units are owned by the 49er class and used for the annual Seiko Speed Challenge. Seiko, our class sponsor, gives $5,000 and two watches to the team that clocks the fastest time over the course of the season. With flat water and big breeze, we were excited to have the unit. We came in as the fastest of the 3 boats with a puck at 20.3 knots! Now imagine going those speeds with 40 other boats around!
The results are posted here. Also, there are video highlights of each day’s racing going up here.
As always, thanks to all of our supporters, and thanks to the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics. Check out the USSTAG website for an announcement to the 2012 Olympic Selection Process.
Stay tuned for reports from the Gold Fleet at the European Championship!
