Col. Peet 

July 4th Trophy Race

Return to Race Results

 

July 4, 2008

This one was unique.  Fri the 4th was a very light day but did let us get off 3 races.  The 2nd day of a long distance race was the hard part to do.  It took 3 weekend to get one we could race.  So on the 27th of July we finished the '08 Col. Peet.  Getting the race off was the easy part.  After one lap we were ready to finish.  The wind was kind of spotty, one boat would be fully powered up and another a few hundred yards away was in the doldrums.  The scoring wasn't easy either, every position but the last, who only raced the last day, needed to be broken by tiebreaker rules.  I've included that at the bottom.

Jul1, 4 2007

It was another 2 day event this year with Sunday and Weds holiday.  Sunday turned out a bit cold and was about 15 from the north.  The weds. forecast wahs supposed to be lighter so we did the long distance on sunday.  The Lake bouy was moved a mile or so further down the lake so it made it a little longer than last year.  If the Scots finished one lap by 11:30 they'd go again.  Multihulls would do 2 or 4 laps.  We ended up with the shorter course and I think everyone was happy (and cold).   After a couple days rest and time for the black and blue marks to really show up we raced around the bouys Weds.  Forecast was possible thunder but held off so the short course allowed us to get 5 more races off in another good breeze, this time from the south.   Peter sailed short handed and Brad thought it would be fun switching crews a few more times.

JULY 2, 4  2006

We again did a 2 day event with a long distance race one day.  Despite a shaky forecast Sunday we decided to go with the sunshine with clearing skies and radar and start with a long distance race.   Because the forecasted big winds(which never developed until after we finished) a few skippers and crews were adjusted.  The lake buoy made setting the course easy and it was decided to have multihulls do 2 laps(~12.5 mi) and double the Flying Scot times.  Hotdogs/Hamburgers rounded out a great day.  

Tuesday was forecasted to be very light but turned out ok, about the same wind as Sunday.  We got off three round- the-buoys races to round off the series.  This allowed a throwout race to allow those who did not do the long distance race to be included.

JULY 2005

July fourth winds are mystical.  Forecast was 7mph starting at 10:00 and going to 8 max for the day.  Didn't look very promising for a long distance race Sunday.  Like magic at 10:00 you could see the wind line coming down the lake but it was more like 15 mph!  The (4) Flying Scots took off a little after 10:00, I followed 30 minutes later on the lone multihull.  No cruisers again this year.  The course this year was to the new Lake Buoy in the center of the lake.  We'd go twice around if the wind permitted.  Wind was from the south so it was a upwind battle all the way to the buoy.  Peter was first to the buoy and back to the turn-around buoy... and kept on going for a second lap.  Gotta love it.  Another spinnaker run downwind!!  I had a ball, hitting 18.0 mph sometime in one of those runs.  The total race was 23.9 miles (sailed distance) for me.  As determined prior to the races, the long distance race counted double.

The format this year was a 2 day event with round-the-buoys racing on the 2nd day.  It was still a good breeze with 2 foot chop when we set the marks on Monday.  A little lighter than the day before but still a great breeze, we were blessed.  Plan was to start no race after 12:00 but we still got 3 races in.
