First Day Results...

There was only one race sailed today. The wind was light around 7 knots. Later, it went to 1-2 knots... The race committee abandoned the second race for the flight #1 and #2 and called the day off as rain clouds were fast approaching. The team struggled at the start line on the first race. Competition for a spot at the start line is fierce. Team Canada results were as follows (out of 70 boats per flight): Reece 50, Derin 57, Julien 57, Andrew 62 and Douglas 65. The start of the second race was much better for the team. Reece and Derin had great starts and they were in the top 10 in their respective flights when the race was abandoned. Julien was not far behind... Tomorrow, the forecast is for strong southerlies which should allow 3-4 races to be completed. Racing will start early at 11:00 AM. Tonight, there was a fantastic dinner party for the Team Canada sailors, parents and coach in one of our kiwi friends Suzette's house... Our kiwi friends make the Canadians feel at home every opportunity they get. Their hospitality is incredible. Thank you Suzette. And thank you Laurie-Anne for organizing this....
