Summer Series Race #6 Results

For those that weren’t out on the water Sunday, it was good to see the crews of Sea Monster, Diva Gorda, Paradiso, Serendipity and Adagio out ready to race. The forecast was for northerly winds to fill in, but… as those that were on the water know, they didn’t… So at 1450 hours, the AP over A flags were raised and race officer Dennis Peck rightly called off racing for the day. My ride over the bridge at 1545 hours further confirmed that call. So it looks like the 2015 Summer Series is going to be scored with 4 races completed. Thanks to all who came out, including the members of the Race Committee.Remember, the first race of the Fall Series begins September 6th. So far I have received one entry. So.. get them in the mail folks! 

Fair winds!     Phil SandersCo-chair RacePGSC
