Good morning everyone. The 2008 Baker Team Racing National Championship is underway. The sailors arrived on Light House Island as early as 0745 hrs and were greeted with a light breeze out of the East and chilly 50 degree temps(quite balmy weather actually for MN.)
Currently the wind is 16 mph, gusting to 23, out of the ESE. The forecast is for steady breezes all day and great racing.
At 0900 hrs Jeff Solum (Regatta Chair) greeted the sailors at the Competitors Meeting and briefed them on the day ahead. He introduced Tim Hogan, President of ISSA, and other regatta officials. Blake Middleton (PRO) followed Jeff with a discussion of expectations from the Race Committee and his plan for the day (we will race late today). Don Becker then discussed how Limited on Water Umpiring works and what the sailors needed to remember for protests and rules infractions.
The Sailors launched at 0940 and the first race, between St Georges and Norfolk Collegiate began shortly after the course was set.
