With lots of good help and great winds, we were able to get 4 races in for A-gold, the Ohio District Championship fleet and 3 races for A-silver and Challenger on Sunday morning after a very windless Saturday.

Key to success was the fabulous work of Ray Gauthier in his mark-set boat and Tom Scannell and Stehpanie Berger in the Finish Boat. Their good work allowed fleets to finish on the last upwind leg and get back to the starting line (positioned below the leeward gate) quickly. This allowed us to restart them with minimal down-time between races.  The final race started four minutes before the drop dead time of 1 pm.
