After Thursday’s delay of boat launching, Friday morning the wind cooperated early so boats began to launch at 08:30. Racing was scheduled to start at 14:30. Before racing began, teams took advantage of having some coach time with Kris Werner and Will Welles as they followed boats on the water. After a short AP to reset the course due to shifty East/Northeast winds, the first race was finally underway. Two races were completed, and the results so far are a two-boat tie at the top (Ted Wiedeke & Al Constants), followed by another two-boat tie (Steve Callison & Mark Hillman). The post-race chicken & ribs BBQ was a huge hit with everyone as the Sayville Yacht Club (NY) team led by Mark Luely and John O’Donnell grilled up a fantastic meal. SYC continues to be one of the most welcoming clubs to host J/24 regattas. Event details: https://yachtscoring.com/emenu.cfm?eID=16335
