Day 3 – Sunday,  June 25

Conditions:

The final day of the clinic was bright and sunny with temperatures in the low 80’s.  The coaches met with their respective groups for onshore debriefings of Saturday’s performance.  Tension increased as racing approaches and all participants strive to improve their performance.  The Race Committee met with Tim Rumptz, National Race Officer and PRO, to review final details and equipment checks prior to the practice race. 

The afternoon saw everyone out on the water.  However, the Lake St. Clair winds did not cooperate.  Winds were light and variable in the 2-3 knot range, generally from the Northeast.  After running several practice starts, the Committee decided to cancel further on the water activities for the day.  The participants then returned to shore and spent the remainder of the afternoon enjoying the pleasures of the swimming pool, tennis courts and bowling alleys. 

A Competitors Meeting was held with the Race Committee, Judges and Competitors at 7:00 pm to answer any questions before racing starts.  Another fabulous dinner, this time with an Italian flavor, prepared by Executive Chef Jim Carney and his staff followed.

Tim Wilkes, the Official Event Photographer, has been hard at work; see the Photo Gallery for images from the clinic.
