2021 SEISA Singlehanded Champ Radial/ Cressy Qual

Summary

Saturday, October 23:

Third time is a charm as the two previous attempts to hold the SIESA Singlehanded Championships and Cressy Qualifier were canceled.

Eight Radial and three Standard rig ILCA Lasers launched in 12-14 knot conditions on northern Galveston Bay. Wind oscillated between 110 and 135 degrees as rain cells moved through the Shoreacres beach. A short steep chop demanded sailors work kinetically. Capsizes left mast tips darkened in the shallow waters. A fast approaching storm concluded racing at 1630.

Ava Anderson (ILCA 6) from Clear Falls leads Hamilton Barclay by 1 pt. Sailors from Colorado and Texas are competing to represent SEISA at the Cressy.

Thank you to the PRO and recorder Tom and Elaine Conlin from Bellwort Yacht Club, NY and to Peter Atherton and Katherine Horne on the signal boat and the coaches and parents who moved the marks and kept the sailors safe. Racing continues Sunday.

Charles Barclay

Sunday, October 24:

After a night of thunderstorms, the day dawned bright and clear with wind from the Southeast in the 12-16 knot range. Harbor launch at 1100 and racing began shortly after at 11:30. Five W-4 races of 30 minutes were conducted in winds from 10-16 knots from 135-165 degrees.

A general recall in Race 6 led to the I-Flag for the remainder of the day. Congratulations to Hamilton Barclay for winning 4 races today and 6 of 9 for the series. He will represent SEISA in the Cressy Championship.

Congratulations to all of the racers, some of whom created their high school sailing team for this event (Kingwood, West Lake, Cedar Park, Stargate).
