July Fleet Racing in Tampa

Saturday saw 11 Scots and a Windmill out for our July Practice. Paul Silvernail
boldly predicted perfect sailing conditions for this event, how does he always get it right? amazing!
We had 8-12 from the West, bright sky, smoking hot, just like Paul said.
What Paul didn't know was that we were sailing Windward leewards with a leeward GATE, ok, he's not perfect! Big thanks to Amy and Jeff Linton for setting up and running the races as well as daycare for the Haywards!
Courses were short, and that kept the fleet packed and verbal. This cozy configuration put a premium on the turns and the ups and downs, whew!
Race winners swaped onto the RC boat, which was neat.
Results are with Amy....
It was good to see Henery Pico over from Merrit Island, we hope he becomes a regular attendee!
Some of the teams bolted off to StPete to catch the Rays game (which they won! Yea!!) Credit to the Ruarks for bringing the Evan good luck charm!!
August 14 is the next date up on the schedule, Please confirm this date and let me know if you will be able to attend as we seem to have a fair number of conflicts on this date, we couls make an adjustment...
Matt and Dawn are August RC thanks!!

PS Ask Al about the pin setting technique.
