Racing was conducted on Galveston Bay for the SEISA Singlehanded District Champs. This requires a 15min tow, but the conditions make it worth it. Breeze was very light in the morning, all fleets were under AP until a harbor launch was called at 10:45. The first race started with light breeze at 6-8kts from 100deg. This held for an hour or so until the seabreeze started to turn on and went right and increased to 10-12kts at 130deg. This was still not a full seabreeze for Galveston Bay so that made plenty of right shifts to make the day interesting for all fleets. Temperatures were typical Houston area hot and humid, everyone was cooked by after 8 solid races in each fleet.
Near identical conditions started on Sunday. Breeze was light so we AP’ed onshore until 10:45 then towed to the racing area. The first race was started in 6-8kts and quickly the conditions turned into 10-12kts. Similar direction as Saturday so plenty of shifts to keep everyone on their toes. We managed 6 races in each fleet to round out the regatta with 14 races total. Gavin Galway from Clear Falls High School sailed a fantastic regatta and claimed the win and the berth at the Cressy Cup next month.
