Single-handed #2 Race Results Posted
The 2010 SYC Single-handed Race Series continued on Sat., April 3 with race #2. Ten skippers participated in the race, demonstrating their skills in guiding their boats around the course without a crew.
A flood tide with 10-12 knot winds at the start of the race provided near ideal conditions, although the winds did become a bit unreliable near the San Mateo bridge. The course was 3/4 - Xp - 12p - Ys - 3/4 for a total of 7.08 nautical miles.
Congratulations to Sail la Vie (Phil MacFarlane) for taking first place, and to Lucky Duck (Paul McCarthy) and Agave (Robin Weber) for taking second and third place respectively. The other single-handed boats were Iowa (Rick Dalton), Knot to Worry (George Sutton), Linda Carol (Ray Collier), Melilani (Rich Butts), Murmur (Doug Murray), Muzzy (Dan Lockwood) and Timbuktu (Dan Doud).
