Because of a lack of wind, racing got underway three hours after scheduled start time, and when the light and shifty breeze did build, there was time only for one race. This in stark contrast to Friday when winds blew nearly 30 knots and seas reached eight feet. So while there is now a defined leader in each class heading into the final two races today, it's still time to break out the calculator. And I'm sure I'll sleep well tonight. Russ Silvestri and Brian Ledbetter have 32 points apiece, while Sam Kerner has 33.
Sailors get one point for winning a race, two for second, three for third and so on.
The two local sailors were all but eliminated after the single race Saturday. The missed race will not be made up, leaving two races left today to decide the trials' winner in the Finn and Star classes. A lot of the Star fleet was eliminated as well, for it appears to be a three-boat race heading into the final day. John Kostecki and Tom Olsen overcame a horrible start to win the race and capture first place overall. Mark Reynolds and Hal Haenel passed two boats on the final downwind leg to finish second and take second overall, one point behind.
