As the teams towed out to
the race course, the weather did not look any better than yesterday. But
then after an hour or so of waiting, the breeze began to fill and the racing
commenced.
With a very strong current
running across the course, the race committee started the racing, and ran
the rest of the flights for round robin one - running each on the heels of
the next. The breeze never varied much in speed, but the shifts back and
forth on the course, kept the race committee very busy.
Sandy Hayes had a big day,
running the table and finishing the first round robin with score line of
7-1. Liz Baylis' San Francisco Women's Match Race Team ended the day with a
6-2 record. Deb Cappozzi's team had a decent day, going 3-2 after their
perfect 2-0 record yesterday, finishing the RR with a score of 5-2. Katy
Lovell’s team also had a good day, running off a 4-1 today..
The tow home was eventful,
ending in the dark! There are also two red flag protest hearings happening
this evening.
At the end of the Round
Robin the scores are as follows:
Sandy Hayes 7-1
Liz Baylis 6-2
Katy Lovell 5-3
Deb Capozzi 5-2
Louise Bienvenue 2-5
Liz Hjorth 3-4
Samantha Treadwell 4-3
Angela Scheiber 2-6
Charlie Arms 0-8
(these scores are
DEFINITELY preliminary, added up in the dark, and awaiting hearings)
Now for those of you
paying attention to the math, yes there are two matches missing. If you
remember, yesterday the RC abandoned 2 matches in the third flight. These
matches, Hjorth v Beinvenue and Treadwell v Capozzi, are still left to run,
and will be run - if necessary - after the end of the 2nd round robin.
All are hoping for good
breeze tomorrow, so that we can run the entire round robin (all 9 flights)
before moving on to the semi-finals.
