Fall Around the Buoy's Race #3, November
15, 2009
The forecast for a
25-30 knot south-easterly blow and heavy rain for our 3rd
Fall RTB race day on November 15th turned out to be
much less dramatic than advertised, with 10-15 knots and an
occasional drizzle, setting us up for some great close racing from
the start line off the RVYC docks out into Oak Bay. Left to right
in the picture below are Rock n' Roll, Long Shot (partly hidden),
Final Merry, Kelsib and Bluebird dipping down to the line.
Artemis' crew were on the committee boat.

Fall Around the Buoy's Race #2, November 1, 2009
Seven Cal 20's were out for our 2nd Fall series race day on November 1st. The weather couldn't have been better with a warm sunny day for all to enjoy. The wind was in the 5-10 knot range from the south east and there was a moderate flood current sweeping through the bay. The committee boat was set up off of Spoon Bay on the west side of Cadboro Bay and the windward mark was roughly half way between Jemmy Jones and Cattle Point. Tacking close in to the rocks up the west side of Cadboro Bay to towards Cattle Point to avoid the current was the order of the day. At Cattle Point, where it appeared we were well overstood, we could bang the corner onto starboard and cross to the windward mark. Kelsib was well tuned in to achieve two firsts for the day, and Artemis got it right in the 2nd race.
