West Coast Results are IN
The first event was the SOCKS regatta run by the Seattle Yacht Club out of the Corinthian Yacht Club on June 19 and 20. Nine A-Cats participated including Ian Storer from San Diego and Jeremy Laundergan from Long Beach. Four races were run on Saturday in very windy 20-25 conditions with COLD 48 degree water. The waves were fairly large even though the Puget Sound current was going with the wind. The waves got larger when the tide shifted! The fleet recovered over a great seafood dinner that night. Sunday had more moderate breeze and the fleet was able to complete another five races.

The last of the three events was the A-Cat Summer Open at the Santa Cruz Yacht Club on June 2-3. Six competitors participated including Steve Hansen and Jeremy Laundergan who drove up from Long Beach. In Santa Cruz, the wind at this time of year depends on the clouds. If there are clouds, there isn't wind. If it clears, you will have wind and lots of it. Saturday racing started at 1pm in moderate wind which built steadily through the second race when it was blowing a solid 25 knots at the 2nd weather mark rounding. The fleet was tempted to have the third race as scheduled, but decided that no one wanted to order a new mast. The race committee offered to start racing earlier on Sunday to make up the race. In a similar progression, racing started at noon in moderate breeze which built to the low 20s by the end of the third race.
