2014 Great 48 Regatta at Lake Norman Yacht Club, Mooresville, NC – Day 1
Mark Riefenhauser reports that they had another great day at the Great 48. Finicky winds proved to be a challenge to both the racers and race committee, but they managed to get in two races. They attempted a third race but after trying to no avail due to the incoporating winds they abandoned for the day. ALthough Mark managed to steer clear of it all, there may have been a few protests in the first race due to a tight mark rounding with multiple boats bumping into and overtaking one another.

2014 Midwinters at Southern Yacht Club, New Orleans – Day 6 Final
Another beautiful day on Lake Ponchartrain starting out in sunny 60-degree weather, later getting up into the 70’s. It’s hard to say what wind we had as we started at 11:00 with very little and shifty wind, so the Race Committee postponed for an hour.

2014 Midwinters at Southern Yacht Club, New Orleans – Day 5
The winds were ready for us today with the sun shining, 62 degrees and the wind blowing 7-10 from the NNE and we got out to the race course in less than 1/2 hour. We had a great race going but the winds were shifting faster than the Race Committee could react and that led to the abandonemnt of the first race after 4 legs. Never fear, though, we moved the race course and got in a great race Windward-leeward 5 legs, with places changing fast – John Wake from NC won the race coming from 7th to 1st in the blink of an… Read more
