Well, another year of TSC sailboat racing is in the history books! We had a wonderful day of racing with 10-12 knot winds out of the south, clear skies and a high in the low 70's. Ya gotta love fall sailing in Texas!
Pete and Judi Nitsche on Wisc Me Away were very gracious in filling in as Race Committee at the last minute. Along with crew of Bill and Sharron Sorensen, we had a great time on the committee boat.
In the spinnaker fleet, the conditions were right for Godspeed and Irish Rover to split winning and runner up finishes. In the cruising fleet, Trust and TBD split winning and runner up finishes as well. In the Leisure fleet, Southern Cross won uncontested.
It's hard to believe we are done for the year. It's been a year of learning for me as Race Captain and I have a better idea of what will and won't work for our racing program. Next year, we will focus the program on Saturday racing composed of a couple of races as well as a few days of fun racing to bring out more cruisers.
We'll be sending out next years club schedule in the next month or so. I'll also send a letter with details of the changes to the schedule and TSC points championship in the next couple of weeks.
Fair winds,
Capt. Dave
