This from Karen Binder. We have two Mainers in the line up: Dave Silsby and Jeff Roseberry. Best of luck to all the racers!
| The lake is huge, hard and fast. Today most competitors (107 sailors are registered!) rigged and got lots of practice laps in and the wind built as the day progressed.
Most sailors were experimenting with 90 and 95 degree runners and switching in flatter sails by late afternoon. Watching the coordination, communication and team work of the polish sailors is very impressive. Jeff, Paul, and I were in several scratch races today and did a good job of being fast and competitive with the Canadian Ice Force. There are 27 sailors ranked in the top ten and there will be three fleets racing. Even with being ranked 13th I imagine I might have to race the qualifier. More tomorrow! Karen Binder, DN 5630 |
