Sail Sand Point Spring Open It was a very wet day, on March
12, for 139 high school sailors from 15 Northwest schools. Sailors arrived at Sail Sand Point in Seattle and were greated by steady rain and light south winds. 23 FJ's crossed the start line off the Sand Point Pier on Lake Washington for the first race at 10:50. The first two races in A-Division were sailed in a 3-5 knot South breeze that clocked hard to the west during Race 1A and back hard to the East during race 2A. Mother Nature finally cooperated
with the Race Comittee for the start of the first B-Division race. Settling from the south at about 5 kts. Sailors tacked and gybed their way around 4-leg windward/leeward courses with a downwind finish. Six races in each division were completed by 4:00 and then the course was shortened to squeeze in one more 3-leg windward/ leeward course in each divsion for a total of 14 races, seven each in A and B. The rain stopped falling around 2:00, after dumping over half an inch, and the sun even made a brief appearance bringing
with it a bit stronger winds with puffs just over 10 kts for the final races. No protests were officially heard, but
North Kitsap 2 did retire after finishing in race 5B. The Race Committee noticed a lot of contact between boats and with marks but didn't see a lot, if any, spinning. Hopefully this is something that can be addressed at practices before the next NW regatta. The event wouldn't have been
possible if it weren't for Sail Sand Point's fleet of 12 FJ's, facilities, and powerboats. Many more sailors were able to get on the water thanks to the UW, Bainbridge Island, Orcas Island and Central Kitsap and North Kitsap teaming up to provide another 11 FJ's. Sail Sand Point's Morgan Collins,
Andi Pistay, Kim Iorio, and Kathy Wade fed about 200 hungry sailors, coaches, and parents with a BBQ lunch. And races were run by University of Washington sailors Glen Stellmacher, Jake Antles, Jordan Cutter, Molly Utter, Caylin Cordray plus Michelle Stitzer and Alex Jones.
